The following resolution submitted by Finsbury Park branch and amended by Stratford No 1 was carried at the May 26th Meeting of the Regional Council.

This Branch believes that our union should be striving to be as strong and effective as possible, in order to be able to do its job of defending and advancing the interests of its members.The Region further believes that local reps are vital to the process of building and strengthening the union, being as they are the face of the union in the workplace and the first port of call for members with problems.
The Branch also notes the disparity of organisation which exists between different branches and between different groups within branches and believes that this is due partly to the different ways in which reps carry out their role.

The Branch believes that the union would gain from a leveling-up process whereby all local reps would be required to carry out the role to a minimum standard as set out in a basic job description. To that end, this branch instructs the LT Regional Council to establish a working party to evaluate to role of a local rep and to propose for agreement a minimum set of responsibilities which all reps will be obliged to carry out upon being elected.
