In the Society we realise that things can be very different for Branch Employed Staff compared to other UNISON workers. To this end we want to give you a tailor made experience. Branch Employed Staff have a designated seat on the SUE Executive, which is now filled by Dave Marsden who was elected in 2019 as the B.E.S. Forum Convenor.
At the 2019 SUE Conference Branch Employed Staff were represented by 2 delegates from the Branch Employed Staff Forum as well as a Branch Employed delegate from the Wales Branch. Conference reported back on a number of matters of specific interest to Branch Employed Staff as well as debating a motion on Branch Employed Staff and the lack of support given to UNISON branches from UNISON itself.
The first National Branch Employed Staff Forum was held at the UNISON Regional Office at Arena Point Manchester on 27th September 2018. Branch Employed Staff from the North West Branch of SUE, Northern Branch of SUE and the East Midlands Branch of SUE attended.
The meeting elected Sue McDiarmid as the BES Forum Convenor unfortunately she had to decline.
The Delegates from the Branch Employed Staff Forum to the SUE 2019 Conference were Jay Patel and Dave Marsden.
