With no union members whatsoever, Grant was faced with a challenge that had never been undertaken in this store before.
The biggest challenge was to bring on board the manager. Grant said: "After speaking to the manager about the benefits that can be enjoyed in a union organised store, the manager responded by signing the first membership form and bringing the rest of the staff to me. I was able to recruit 9 out of the 15 staff, bringing the store to 60% membership in 45 minutes".
"Since being on the Usdaw Organising Academy, I have developed and gained confidence in being able to organise the way I did in this Poundland store".
