the local representative (or central if the company is small) can represent you in meetings with the employer, give you legal advice (they usually have law experts in the central organization) and give guidance and support.

The employer is also actually obliged to discuss the matter with you and your representative (meaning union) before making a decision regarding dismissal with notice, (although the law states “to the extent that it is practically possible”, which makes for a few unlikely exceptions).

With collective dismissals (more than 10 people), there is a more formal and lengthy process, involving all the union representatives. Then they negotiate on behalf of everyone, and not only their own members.

Did that answer your question?
