Mike's rant

I was at the learning reps forum today with some of the more proactive reps. All good people who want to get involved and help their fellow members and workers access any aspects of learning that may appeal to them. So, what is the problem? Well, there is no problem with them, but I do have a problem with those who have undertaken the role of learning rep and then do nothing! And I mean nothing at all
Being a rep is not just about you, it's about the reps and learners who will follow you. Establishing acceptance of the role in the workplace is very important, so adding to negative perceptions by doing sweet F.A. is not helpful! So, if you do nothing else, find a colleague who would do a more pro-active job and get them to do it!
If you have an issue with this, please feel free to complain to your branch (RMT) or your lead learning reps or at your union head office. At least we would know that you read this!
