Help PCS to win: join our Organising course
Our ability to make a difference on issues depends on how strong we are in the workplace. The best measure of our strength is how well we are organised locally.
Organising is not just about how many members we have, although the more members we have, the stronger we are. Organising is about how many members are actively involved in the union, knowing what issues are important, how we communicate with our members, listen to their needs and set up branch structures, including the training of reps, to support members.
Sign up to the PCS Organising and Industrial Relations course, held over four Wednesdays - 19 and 26 June, 3 and 10 July, and find out how you can make a difference.
You don’t have to hold the position of branch organiser. All PCS reps are welcome to attend this course, because every union rep or advocate is a union organiser.
Organising is not just about how many members we have. We look at;
- How many members are actively involved in the union?
- Are reps and advocates trained and confident in all relevant aspects of their industrial relations duties?
- Do we know which parts of our branch are strong or weak?
- Do we know which issues matter most for members?
- How do we get our union messages across, and consult members on collective negotiations?
- Are our union structures adequately reflecting the developing needs of the workforce we represent?
- How do we overcome objections and obstacles to getting organised?
Sign up to this three day course to find out how you can help your branch build a stronger union
