1. Read and translate the text.

Although internal union organization varies from union to union, certain common characteristics do exist in their administrative structures. The following description could broadly apply to most unions.

Members of a union from within a small geographical area form the local unit of the union – the branch. The branch is likely to include workers from several different factories, although very large factories may contain sufficient union members to form a branch. The branches of some unions are based on an individual workplace; in the National Union of Mineworkers, for example, the branch is based on individual collieries. Branch meetings elect delegates to the national conference of the union and discuss local issues. In the larger unions branches also send delegates to regional or area committees, which are groups of branches.

The yearly annual conference is the policy making body of the union, and its decisions determine the path that a union follows. The day to day running of the union is the responsibility of the National Executive, which meets regularly. In some unions the members of the National Executive are elected by the annual conference, in others they are elected by a national ballot or a local ballot if the executive member is to specifically represent an area. Many unions use a combination of the two methods, electing the most senior officers by ballot. The most important member of the National Executive is the General Secretary or President of the union. The General Secretary and other members of the National Executive are normally responsible for national negotiations with employers. They also represent the views and interests of their members to the government and other organizations.
