What does a trade Union representative do?

A trade union representative is tasked with offering employees advice and support when they are dealing with a problem at work. They are skilled professionals trained to deal with a wide range of employment and HR issues and are on hand to offer support, be it in the form of advice or as an advocate acting on behalf of and representing an employee in their time of need.

How can a Trade Union Representative help me?

Our fully qualified and experienced Trade Union representatives are on hand to help you with any concerns you may have with your employer and any issues you may face while in employment. Our Trade union reps are here to:

  • accompany and represent you during any disciplinary and/or grievance hearings with management
  • represent you in negotiations (‘collective bargaining’) over your pay and terms and conditions of employment
  • meet with your employer to find solutions to workplace issues
  • develop the best possible health and safety procedures with your employer

Our representatives are here to act on your behalf and can:

  • present and sum up your case;
  • responding on your behalf to any view expressed at the meeting;
  • ask your employer the right question;
  • confer with you during the hearing; and
  • ensure that the correct processes are followed.

The Best Employment support and advice

After a very distressing time in my employment caused by bullying and discrimination I finally found Castle Associates. I was very impressed by the speed and service provided by Castle Associates. I would strongly recommend this company and know from my own experience they are genuine.

Outstanding support when I needed it

5

From the moment I met Laura from Castle Associates I felt at ease and confident that she would ensure that I would be well represented. Until that point the whole situation felt very one sided, with me feeling as if I would never get the chance to properly present my side of the argument.

The best kind of support when you need it the most

5

After working for the same company for many years my Daughter was made redundant. Before we looked into any legal aspect of the way the selection process was managed we felt that the whole process had been unfair and discriminatory.

First class service

I have used the services of Castle Associates on two occasions. In both cases I have found them to be professional, caring and thorough. They helped me through the minefield of employment laws and in both cases the conclusion was extremely satisfactory.

A company you can trust!

As I had a disappointing experience with my own union, I was apprehensive to instruct Castle Associates to act on my behalf, however after speaking to Mark Ferron (MD) he instantly gained my complete trust and confidence.

When you need REAL help, this company gives REAL help! Very pleased!

I was involved in being beaten up at work by a colleague who committed GBH on me resulting in a bleeding mouth, bruising and two fractured ribs. There were no witnesses and my employer seemingly attempted to get us both sacked regardless.
