Bob Crow writes ...
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.

If you are a local rep, find out how to make the most of your regular local ("level one") meetings with management - finding out members' issues, arguing the case with your manager, what to do if you disagree, feeding back to members, using your role to build the union and its strength in the workplace. This training workshop, led by Malcolm Taylor, Staff-Side Secretary of London Underground's Stations & Revenue Council, is a must for all local representatives.
