We
are a trade union whose origins go back to the first labour pioneers,
who came together to protect workers from exploitation and, in the
process improve their pay, working conditions, safety and opportunities
for learning.

How
can I play a role in the union?
|
|
We
boast the most democratic structures in the trade union movement.
Every
member is encouraged to participate in the Union. The Branches hold
frequent meetings to which members are welcomed and encouraged to
attend. The Branches elect their own officers & a representative
to the National Executive Council (NEC).
The
General Secretary / Treasurer administers the Union under the direction
of the Executive Management Committee (EMC) who are elected members
from the NEC.
The
full-time officials attend at Executive Council meetings and may
participate in debate but do not vote.
