The MUA WA Branch has been proactively delivering delegates’ training since December 2021 in response to calls from the WA Branch Committee, members at stop work meetings, and various committees to get delegates training going again. In just under 2 years, we’ve successfully trained around 110 delegates—a testament to our commitment to ensure that our members, activists, and delegates have the required knowledge and skills to properly repre- sent our members and the union within the workplace. Delegates and activists hold the most important role within the Union, and our dedication to providing comprehensive training underscores their significance in representing the MUA and advocating for its members.
Our delegates training programs comprise of 2-day course(s) designed to introduce members to:
Stage One Delegates Training:
: The Delegate’s Role : Essential knowledge and skills for effective workplace representation : EBA comprehension and clause analysis : Collaborative resolution of workplace disputes : Understanding consultative workplace committee structures : Techniques for member representation
Stage Two Delegates Training:
: Legislation in Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) : Consultation processes : Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) and Provisional Improvement Notices (PINS) : Negotiation strategies : Dispute Settlement Procedures : Frameworks for bargaining : Understanding and navigating EBAs : Referrals (Workers’ Compensation, personal injuries, illness, etc.) : Proficiency in conducting meetings
JP’s exceptional efforts in shaping the course content and leading our training sessions deserves ac- knowledgement. His dedication to giving our delegates the skills and expertise to perform this key role for the Union in the workplace is respected by our members.
Course dates for 2024 will be set early in the New Year.
