HeartUnions week

HeartUnions actions that you can take...

• Identify who your local steward or safety rep is and say hello! You can use the Find My Rep feature to help you
• Ask your physiotherapist and support worker colleagues whether they are a member of a union and encourage them to join the CSP if not
• Opt in to receive emails from the CSP to make sure you keep up to date with CSP campaigns and information useful to you
• Update your employment/contact details so your CSP workplace reps and the CSP centrally can best support you. Be sure to add your mobile number

Do this and you aren't just a member, you're an activist!

• Order some print-on-demand posters to put up around workplace on an issue that matters to you
• Contact your CSP steward or health and safety rep to see if they need any help supporting CSP members
• Stand as a CSP rep to make sure your colleagues get proper support locally 
• Join a network within your trust or health board that you feel is relevant to you  
• Sign up as a pay activist and help shape the 2024/25 pay campaign 

CSP steward or safety rep?

• Fill in our workplace wins survey to share an example of how you helped you members recently  
• Email your members with a summary of positive action your CSP workplace team achieved with members support in your workplace – for example, a mini newsletter 
• Organise a meeting with your local CSP steward/rep team to map your members and identify gaps to aid CSP member recruitment – contact your CSP organisers for support if needed
• Share a positive experience of working with staff within the CSP – for example, have you had a recent meeting with a senior negotiating officer or organiser that you found useful . Let us know by emailing jointheteam@csp.org.uk
