There are two categories of STU membership:

1) Ordinary Branch (OB) Member
(Most Education Officers would belong to this category)
As an OB member of STU, you are eligible for all grievance-handling services, social, recreational and professional benefits provided by STU.

2) General Branch (GB) Members
(Education Officers like Principals belong to this category)
As a GB member of STU, you are eligible for social, recreational and professional benefits provided by STU. The only difference between the Ordinary and General Branch members is that we cannot represent the latter in matters related to terms and conditions of service.
