How we organise at National
Level
The Scottish Young Members Committee elects 2 representatives
to the UK National Young Members Forum.
Each region can send two delegates. The Scottish Young
Members Committee is represented well on the National Young Members
Forum by Daniel Robertson, Carrie Bell (job share) and Laura-Beth
Scally (job share).
Daniel, Carrie and Laura-Beth feed the Scottish Young Members
Committee work into national campaigns and help ensure the priorities
of Scotland reflect the concerns of young workers.
The National Young Members Forum :-
UNISON young members have a strong voice in the union through
the National Young Members Forum.
This forum has responsibility for:
- Increasing the recruitment of young people
- Ensuring the issues of concern to young workers are at the
heart of UNISON's negotiating agenda
- Encouraging participation of young workers at all levels of
the union
- Improving the image of the union amongst young workers
- Launching campaigns on key issues effecting young workers
National Young Members Conference :-
Another way to get involved is to register as a delegate for
the National Young Members' Conference. This conference takes
the form of a series of skills-based workshops and plenary sessions
to help young members get more active in the union.
This annual event brings together young activists from all around
the UK. The next weekend will be taking place in Glasgow during
May so look out for information arriving at your branch in March
08.
