How to get more involved?
All seats on the WEC are currently filled but we still need your help. The first step is getting more involved in your union by attending your next branch meeting. Joining branch meetings is vital for the representation of women in the union. Not sure what branch/division you’re in? Contact us to find out and ask for details about your next branch meeting.
There are many ways to get involved at different levels of the union. You can become a branch rep or even work for Bectu. Discover the different roles in Bectu and apply for jobs here.
