MEMBERSHIP & SECTOR MEETINGS

Our branch is committed to meeting our members and ensuring that our union remains membership led. This can be problematic with a branch that covers three counties. To remedy this we regularly visit individual stations and workplaces to meet the membership.

Sector meetings are another way of members getting involved. They provide another opportunity to gauge the wider views and opinions of UNISON members. Feed back from the sectors is then forwarded to the branch executive.

If you wish to arrange a sector meeting or a smaller, more local meeting, please get in touch with either your sector secretary, or email us by clicking HERE

NEXT DORSET SECTOR MEETING:

Mon 8th March @ Lytchett Minster

19.30 Start

All members who can make it are encouraged to come along. We can assure you that your questions will be answered and your input will be dealt with or passed on to the branch executive meeting the very next day.

If you have any items you would like to add to the agenda, please email Alan Lofthouse.
