George, I don't think that you have to physically sign an agreement.
As far as I know, within one week of joining an organisation you should
be given a contract and a copy of the staff terms and conditions,
including grievance procedures etc. and an IT acceptable use policy.

The IT acceptable use policy can be varied or added to by the
organisation.
For instance, where I worked once we brought in new guidelines for use
of the network. All employees were informed of this by letter to their
home address. New employees had it included in the induction pack.



I make no comment on the above case though, of union use of email,
as I don't know anything about that. Does seem strange though.
