CWU reps sliding into management rolls.

Post by SkiSunday »

How many CWU reps have you seen being given preferential treatment at your workplace?

Every local rep at my DO has ended up as a manager or with a duty at the local MC.

The area reps just keep failing upwards because nothing ever gets resolved other than people leaving the business.

None. Anyone who does that knows they will become toxic. I think it happens less than thought but when it does it blows up massive

I suspect now you will see union reps as planners. Let’s face it they will have probably a better idea of what will work.

How long have you been an OPG and how big is your DO? i.e. how many local reps per employee

None but you carry on with your agenda anyway 👍.
