It pays to be united

HOW OUR BRANCH WORKS ELECTING BRANCH OFFICIALS AND COMMITTEES OF MANAGEMENT

At the Branch level members elect a range of committee of management members from amongst rank and file members together with full-time officials to conduct the affairs of the Union.

There are eleven Sub-Branch Committees of Management who co-ordinate activity at a regional or industry level.

The overall policy and management of our resources are determined by:

• The Annual Conference
• Rank and file delegates who meet each year usually in September
• The Executive
• Representatives from each Sub-Branch who meet bi-monthly between Conferences

The day to day operations of the Union are managed by:

• The General Secretary
• Managers

The Union relies heavily on honorary rank and file representatives and there are many opportunities for you and other activists to become involved in Branch and Sub-Branch affairs as well as in your workplace and we encourage you to be involved.
