All union reps will talk to supervisors and managers as a matter of routine but not all union reps will be involved directly face-to-face negotiations over key issues. Why become a union representative? There are all sorts of reasons. People may: be good communicators and their work colleagues think that they would be good in the role feel strongly about issues and want to change things for the better be dissatisfied with something at work and want to have the rights of a representative to influence members and management be persuaded to have a go by other union reps looking for strengthen the union team be pleased with the outcome of a personal case that was handled by the union and want to give something back be the only one to do the job because nobody else will try.
Different representatives, different roles There are several types of union representative, with separate roles, although sometimes different names are used to describe them: Union representative or steward — has statutory rights to represent members in the workplace and carry out other workplace duties.
Health and safety representative — has statutory rights to cover many aspects of health, safety and welfare in the workplace and attends health and safety committee meetings.
In most unions the union representative and the health and safety representative are two separate positions. In other unions, once you become a union representative you are automatically the safety representative. They are, however, different roles. Union learning representative — has statutory rights for promoting and organising education and training in their own workplace.
Equality representative — covers all aspects of promoting, organising and negotiating equality and fairness at work see section on Equality. Senior steward or convenor — is a union representative with a lot of experience of dealing with workplace issues and will represent the workforce at meetings with management to negotiate pay or changes in working conditions.
Union full-time officer — can be elected or appointed according to the union rule book. This officer works full-time for the union and supports all regional union activities and representatives. Some unions also employ fulltime organisers to support branches. Useful advice taken from experienced union reps Meet regularly with the employer and managers, both informally and informally, to get to know them.
This is useful when planning how to take up an issue or in planning improvements in pay, terms and conditions. New representatives can shadow other more experienced colleagues in those meetings too. They can also get training from their union and the TUC as well as backup from experienced representatives and branch officers at work.
