• learning the importance of promoting of mutual trust and confidence in all aspects of the employment environment and of the employment relationship;
• recognising that union delegates can play a key role in enhancing good faith in the workplace and preventing the erosion of conditions that foster highly productive relations at work; and
• recognising that effective delegates are good problem-solvers who can contribute positively to processes, behaviours and communications that build mutual trust and confidence in the workplace.
