The Union of National Employees has created a new fact sheet on facing management for union representatives.
Facing management can sometimes be intimidating – and our union representatives do it all the time! Our volunteers regularly meet face-to-face with management during consultation committees, negotiations and grievance hearings, among others.
Thus, it came as no surprise when a recent survey revealed a clear need for training on how to talk to management and how to be effective at union-management consultations.
“Facing management is often one of the main deterrents to many potential members becoming involved in union activity,” read one resolution calling for more training in this area.
As a union, we want all our members to feel empowered and confident when facing management. The fact sheet is a first step in doing that. In the future, we hope to be able to deliver more hands-on training on this important topic.
