• Branch Officers: Elected each year at the AGM, they carry out specific functions. For a list of our Current branch Officers, see the 'Contact Us' page
• Stewards: Your first point of call within the union if you have a problem. They are essential cogs that make the union work, without them, the whole thing would grind to a halt. Our aim is to have a Steward in each workplace (at the moment we are well short of that).
• Health and Safety Reps: Have specific knowledge and experties in Health and Safety matters. They have extensive rights, as laid down in the 'Safety Repsresentatives and Safety Committee regulations 1977'. In some cases the H&S Rep and the Steward are the same person, but they have very different roles within the union.
• Workplace Contacts: Do not have the same rights as Stewards, but are a vital link between the membership and the 'organisation'. They help keep the membership up to date with what is going on and pass information on, distibute news letters etc.
• Self Organised Groups: SOGs are groups of members who often face discrimination get together to share resources, they include:
  • Black members
  • Disabled members
  • Lesbian and gay members
  • Women members
