Trade Union National Executive Committee (TUNEC)

The Trade Union Executive Committee (TUNEC) is made up of elected BDA members who represent us at a national level. They help shape our priorities, guide our work and make sure the voices of reps and members are heard across the union.

You can meet the committee members and find out more about the people representing you and championing the profession.

TUNEC works closely with the Trade Union team to improve working conditions, influence national policy and support the issues that matter most to dietetics. Each committee member brings their own experience and insight, helping us stay connected to what is happening across workplaces.

If you are a BDA Rep, TUNEC is here to support you. They listen to the challenges you are facing locally, help set the direction of our campaigns and ensure your experiences shape the decisions we make as a union.2

TUNEC members will:

• Uphold the aims and objectives of the BDA
• Be accountable to the members who elect them
• Reflect the concerns of the members in their constituency
• Participate in meetings and events
• Champion and support the role of the BDA Trade Union
• Work with the Director of Trade Union and Public Affairs and other BDA staff to ensure the proper functioning of the Trade Union.
• Ensure that all work is carried out within the context of the agreed BDA equalities statement.
