Membership Week
Usdaw’s team of Reps and officials will be taking part in our National Membership Week which will take place from 18 - 24 June.
Date: 18 June 2012 - 24 June 2012
Venue: Nationwide
Area Organisers, Recruitment and Development Officers, Training
Officers will be pulling out all the stops to give the Union a
massive membership boost.
Vital to the success of this initiative is our dedicated team of
Reps and activists who will play a pivotal role during the
Week.
Potential
We will only be successful if we work as a team to strengthen
our membership where we already have members and reach out to those
potential members at unorganised sites.
It promises to be an exciting week with new promotional leaflets
and posters in the pipeline and a determination to make a real
difference in workplaces across the UK.
We need to identify the thousands of new members who are within
our grasp and explain to them how Usdaw can improve their working
lives.
Speak to your manager now about time off to organise a stall in
the canteen, or time off to talk to new starters/non-members.
Arrange your team of Reps on to a rota so everyone spends some time
focused on this recruitment initiative.
If we all start planning for the week now we can deliver a
massive boost to our membership across all Usdaw sectors which will
be unprecedented in the Union's history.
Start planning now: checklist
- Speak to your manager about time off to organise an event.
- Order recruitment leaflets and promotional materials in
advance. You can also order Usdaw merchandise from the
online
store.
- Identify areas/departments in your workplace where membership
is low.
- Arrange your team of Reps on a rota to cover all shifts.
- Contact your Area Organiser or
local office for help.
- Contact the Network/Arena team with details of your event and
to discuss photographs and coverage in the magazines.
Contact your Area Organiser or local
office for more details.
The following recruitment materials can also be downloaded from
the website.
