This workshop is a must for all workplace RMT representatives, and for branch officers. We are more effective at everything we do if we sign up as many members as possible and keep our membership information up-to-date. this is especially true since recent legal rulings have placed even greater demands on unions when it comes to information.
This training workshop will look at:
- identifying who is and is not a member in your workplace
- persuading non-members to join
- keeping membership details up-to-date
