Do union workplace representatives have to carry on their union duties during maternity leave?

No. And I was a seconded rep for 20 years.

Thanks, looks like they've given out my number when I'm not due back for 6 months.

No. It's a voluntary role. Just reply saying you are on maternity and all enquiries must go to the regional rep
