Union Representative Training Clause Samples
The Union Representative Training clause establishes the right and process for union representatives to receive training relevant to their roles. Typically, this clause outlines the types of training permitted, such as courses on labor relations or workplace safety, and specifies the conditions under which representatives may attend, including notice requirements and whether paid leave is provided. Its core function is to ensure that union representatives are adequately prepared to represent employees and engage effectively with management, thereby promoting informed labor relations and reducing workplace disputes.

These functions may include participation in bargaining and other consultation processes or any other representative function.
9.3.2 The Employer will provide a Workplace Delegate with access to up to five (5) days paid leave to attend workplace relations training in the first 12-month period.
