USRs Sacrifice Employment Careers Exclusive new research from Personnel Today and the TUC reveals that a surprising 92% of union reps believe they are sacrificing their careers in order to represent their colleagues even though they enjoy a largely positive, professional working relationship with their organisations' HR departments. More than nine in ten union reps (92%) responding to the survey think their career prospects have been hampered by their personal involvement with unions. Some 38% believe this is definitely the case and 54% believe it is possibly so. Paul Nowak, national organiser at the TUC, says: "Too many union reps feel their careers are put on the line because of their representative role. Finely worded policies are not enough - managers need to demonstrate practically that staff taking on reps roles will not lose out when it comes to career prospects, pay or development opportunities." Other TUC research published this week highlights the positive contribution that unions make to company performance. Source: TUC Risks |
