GENERAL REPRESENTATIVES TRAINING 2010 - EDUCATION, ORGANISATION & AGITATION National Education Centre, Doncaster

I have arranged a series of training courses for our elected representatives that will be held throughout the first quarter of 2010.

The courses are for our reps who have never attended a five day RMT residential before.

Our ‘General Reps Course’ focuses on the role of an RMT rep and cover all the basics including recruitment & retention, providing advocacy at disciplinary and grievance hearings and negotiation.

Participants for these courses will come from a variety of companies and industrial sectors which will enhance the learning experience, help us understand each other’s problems and create stronger more militant RMT representatives in the workplace.

All nominations must come through the member’s branch and the form sent to branches should be used in all instances. There are a number of dates available therefore our reps should indicate their preferences with number 1 being most desired week, 2 being the second most desired week....

The courses will be held at our National Education Centre in Doncaster. They will commence at 14.00 hrs on the Monday (buffet lunch served at 13.00hrs) and will finish after breakfast on the Friday.
