If you are a union rep, and management schedule your union duties outside you rostered hours - eg. arranging a member's LDI at 16:00 on a day when you are on an early turn finishing at 15:00 - then you should get "time off in lieu". Your union duties are part of the company's legal responsibilities, so should be carried out in their time, not yours.

Some of our reps are experiencing trouble getting time back from management in situations such as this. If you are having trouble with this, please contact Malcolm Taylor as soon as possible.
