Union Sub Branches
Sub Branches of the Union may be established by the Union Council at workplaces, where 15 or more members of the Union exists.
An active Sub Branch in each workplace assists all members of the Union in that particular workplace.
A Sub Branch consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary and a number of committee representatives. All members holding these positions are elected at an Annual General Meeting (AGM) which are held between the months February and April of each year. Delegates to Annual Convention are elected at the AGM. It is a requirement that any members nominating for a position of President, Vice President and Secretary should be a financial member of the Union and have at least 12 months continuous financial membership.
A Convention Delegate must have 12 months continuous financial membership, have completed the Union’s Level 1 Training Course “Reclaiming Your Rights,” and be a Sub-Branch Committee Member.
Workplaces with fewer than 15 members have no Sub Branch. These workplaces have a representative who acts for members at their request. This is not an elected position.
