Job Opportunity to become a Trade Union Official

TRADE UNION NEEDS A NUMBER OF RECRUITER OFFICIALS

Great opportunity to build a meaningful career

SAEWA is a registered trade union with a wide network of offices across South Africa. We organise across most sectors, and we are recognised in several industries.

We offer a comprehensive career path for successful candidates. You will start with us a Sales Official. A Sales Official is responsible to recruit new members for the union and will be remunerated with commissions and bonusses. However, you will immediately be promoted to Junior Union Official as soon as you have recruited sixty new members. This should take not more than a few weeks at the most.

As a Junior Official, your duties will remain recruiting new members but, shall be expanded to include servicing members, attending meetings with the employers of members and even attending conciliations at the CCMA. Upon being promoted to Junior Official, you shall be paid a basic salary, commission, bonusses and some fringe benefits. After recruiting another 150 new members, you will be promoted to the position of Trade Union Official.

As a Trade Union Official, you shall be responsible to attend meetings with members and their employers where you may deal with grievances and disciplinary hearings. You will also conduct conciliations at the CCMA, or bargaining councils and attend to arbitrations under the supervision of your Team Leader, or a Senior Trade Union Official. You shall be paid a basic salary, commission, bonuses and expanded fringe benefits. You shall be part of wage negotiations at the company’s where your members are employed. Of course, you will continue to recruit new members and as soon as you have recruited a further 250 new members, you will be promoted to become a Senior Trade Union Official.

As a Senior Trade Union Official, you will be responsible for the complete spectrum of duties and activities traditionally done by senior trade union officials including, but not limited to recruitment, establishing and attending branch committees and branch meetings, attending to CCMA and bargaining council disputes at both conciliation and arbitration, wage negotiations at both company and industry level. You may also be appointed to serve as a delegate, or even as a trustee on councils, boards or committees where the union may think you can add value.

This opportunity is available for people with good interpersonal and communication skills. You must have matric, or a similar qualification and be able to read, write and speak English proficiently. You should also have a laptop, or at the very least a “smart-phone.

At the moment, we are specifically looking for candidates in Gqeberha (Port-Elizabeth) and in Hermanus (Overberg).
