The CSP is only as strong as its presence in the workplace. Building the CSP is an important part of the role of the steward and safety rep and a key step in doing this is workplace mapping. Mapping is the process of getting up to date and relevant information about the workforce and can form the basis of successful union organising, including recruiting new members, developing effective communications, getting members active and campaigning on workplace issues.

This eBite will explore what mapping means, why reps should do it and offer a step-by-step guide to mapping in the workplace.
