- Decision
- Carried
This WET Conference, 2017 notes that the United Utilities branch produces a regular magazine entitled U3 which assists the visibility of UNISON in the many geographically spread workplaces and in turn, the retention of existing and recruitment of current non-members.
Other branches in the WET Service Group could benefit from producing their own versions specific to their own employers either in a satirical fashion such as U3 or in a format that suits their own circumstances.
Conference therefore urges all branches to consider producing branch magazines and calls on the Service Group Executive to consider inviting the joint editors of U3 to the 2017 WET Seminar to outline a presentation on best practice which will benefit the wider Service Group in respect of recruitment, retention and workforce visibility of UNISON.
