Every member should be aware of the importance of a strong membership.
Over the previous months, your Branch has been out and about among the office, raising the profile of the Union in our workplace and response has been terrific. We have held open sessions in the canteen and had a great response (judging by the amount of freebies snapped up!) and we have welcomed a large number of new members recently.
Our strength is based on numbers. The more member we have, the stronger we are.
