A practical handbook for union reps

This manual has been written to provide practical advice for trade union workplace reps on issues they are likely to encounter when dealing with the range of issues that can arise in the workplace.

It is not just a guide to dealing with problems. It is also intended to help trade union activists recruit and organise, and to build a strong effective trade union in their workplace. The TUC Workplace Manual is not intended to be a guide to the law; it is much wider than that. By the use of checklists and practical examples it will guide trade union reps through the process of dealing with problems encountered in the workplace before they become issues for the courts or tribunals.
