The NUJ is a very democratic union: it is possible for all members to influence policy. All members are entitled to attend branch meetings. Branches can submit motions and amendments to conference. Delegates can speak in debates, vote and ask questions. If a motion is passed it becomes union policy. Branches hold a special meeting to discuss arrangements for the conference.
