By law, all workplace representatives are required to undertake training at least once every five years to keep up to date and maintain their ERA certification. The refresher course aims to update reps on new legislation which is relevant to their role and introduce new developments within UNISON.
The Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 makes provision for trades unions to elect officials in workplaces to act as representatives of the union. The Act, in conjunction with the ACAS Code, requires the employer to give reasonable time off to these trade union officials to carry out duties which are concerned with industrial relations, and to undergo training in aspects of industrial relations. UNISON identifies officials accredited
under the 1992 Act as Stewards.
PLEASE NOTE: This is the only course that complies with ERA recertification.
