What do Union Representatives do?

• They are your colleagues who volunteer to support members and ensure your voice is heard.

• Reps assist with complaints, discipline meetings, grievances, and confidential support.
• If issues cannot be resolved informally, they help move matters forward as grievances.
• Managers must inform you of your right to have a Union Rep present during discipline meetings.
• Often issues can be resolved quickly with the help of a Rep.
• Reps can help communicate with management on your behalf.
• They are great problem solvers, educators, communicators, and advocates.
• They work with you every day — don’t hesitate to reach out.
