How to become an active union member

Active members are the foundation of your union. By becoming more active, you can make a real difference by helping to:

  • inform colleagues about their right to join a union
  • recruit new members
  • make your branch more visible
  • organise for recognition if you don’t have it yet
  • promote Prospect’s equality networks.

Becoming more active is the first step on the pathway to becoming a rep. The majority of Prospect reps take on casework in their branch and there are many other important rep roles like Health & Safety, Equalities and Learning.

We’re delighted you’re interested in getting more involved. If you are part of an existing branch, speak to your local reps first. Otherwise, to get started, just fill in your information below, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
