Supporting pregnant workers - a union reps guide (September 2016)

Chapter 7

Collective bargaining for pregnancy and maternity rights

[ch 7: page 68]

When organising to resolve issues collectively, an obvious place to start is to ask members about the pregnancy and maternity issues they face at work. This makes sure efforts are properly targeted, but in addition, is a good way of raising the profile of the union, and of helping to build membership. Members can be asked through surveys, electronic polls, questionnaires, informal chats or in a larger, well-organised workplace, even by setting up a formal working group.
