Sorry for not replying sooner, I thought I had notifications turned on for this thread, but it appears not! Yes, this has moved on. After an initial meeting with the IWGB, a loose, informal association of Cycle Instructors appears to have organically formed. Work so far has focused on a) building a comprehensive contact / mailing list (it is estimated there are more than 300 Instructors in the London region), and b) establishing the type of association (if any) those Instructors would like, or be prepared to support long term, and what the priorities of any association might be. To this end a short survey has been compiled and sent out. The results of this survey, once in, and analysed, will form the basis of a way forward.
I see that there was a meeting between London instructors and IWGB back in January. Has idea of unionisation moved on any? I deliver BikeAbility in NE England, where me and my fellow instructors are facing similar problems to the ones discussed here. It seems that instructors in South Yorkshire are too.
