Dunstable College tutor is awarded the TUC Women’s Gold Badge Award

At the Trade Union Annual Congress in Brighton, held on Monday 10th September 2007, Dunstable College Tutor Lorene Fabian was awarded the TUC Women’s Gold Badge Award by Gordon Brown.



Lorene is a tutor working in the Trade Union Studies Unit at Dunstable College, delivering courses which assist trade unionists in the workplace who are representing workers in the area of workers' rights, health and safety and training.

Lorene was selected for the award because of her continued hard work in assisting women trade unionists to gain confidence in their workplace, enabling them to gain rights for themselves and the women they represent in their role as Shop Stewards. Lorene also played an active role in producing and delivering 'equal pay training', and continues to campaign for women's rights for her union Unite – Amicus Section.

This is a fantastic achievement for Lorene and highlights the dedication and commitment shown by Dunstable College staff in ensuring that a high standard of teaching is delivered to all students.
