We often suggest speaking to a trade union representative for advice or support.
When to use this pattern
Use this pattern when saying advice or support might be available from trade union representatives.
The pattern
[Intro specific to topic] your trade union representative, if you're a member
You can adapt this pattern where needed. For example, to say 'they're'.
Examples
- You can speak to your trade union representative, if you're a member.
- For more advice, they can contact a trade union representative, if they're a member.
Things to remember
You can adapt the content pattern to what you're writing about. But always include 'if you're / they're a member'.
Check with a subject matter expert whether you need to refer to the trade union as a 'recognised trade union'. We need to do this in some content, for example in advice about consultation.
