How to get more involved?

One way to get more involved in your union is by attending your next branch meeting. Outside of that, contact your local rep and speak to them about getting more involved. Being active in branches is key to ensuring representation of women in the union, so your voice is heard. Not sure what branch/division you’re in? Contact us to find out and ask for details about your next branch meeting.

There are many ways to get involved at different levels of the union. You can become a branch rep or even work for Bectu. Discover the different roles in Bectu and apply for jobs here.
