BOSTU Rep Hub

Members sat in meeting with BIOS lanyards

Welcome to the BOSTU Rep hub. Our Union relies on the hard work of our workplace reps to provide support and representation to our members.

You can find information below on what being a rep involves and how you can become one. If you’re a current rep, you can also log in to access training and resources to support you in your role.

Become a BOSTU Rep

Reps provide support to members with workplace and employment issues, and can become involved in campaigning on issues such as pay and working conditions.

Why become a BOSTU Rep?
  • The role will give you additional skills and experience, especially in employment law and human resources policies.
  • You will help protect people’s rights at work and encourage fairness in the workplace.
  • You will support members in their hour of need, which can be very rewarding.
  • There is a possibility of attending national conferences and events, such as the annual TUC Congress, of which we are an affiliate.
