The document discusses the pros and cons of joining a trade union for a part-time job at Tesco. It explains that the shop steward, Jan, asks the student if they want to join the union Usdaw. The duties of a shop steward are then outlined, such as representing workers and dealing with problems on the job. The student considers reasons why they may or may not want to join based on their situation as a student worker before making a decision.
