Delegate Foundations
Ever wondered what the role of a delegate is? Come and join other delegates
from across the CPSU for a new two-day course about the role, rights and
responsibilities of being a delegate in 2012. You’ll be equipped with knowledge
about industrial law, workplace relations and CPSU structure and processes as
well as communication skills and the confidence to carry out this important role
in your workplace.
Representation Skills
For many delegates, representing members is the most rewarding and
interesting part of the role. In this new two-day course, you will learn how to
represent members on individual and collective workplace matters. Topics covered
include your Collective Agreement, industrial relations law and consultation
processes as well as negotiation skills and case studies. With delegates from
across CPSU, you’ll practice your skills in the important role of representing
your members.
