Benefits of Joining Unity: Protection & Respect in the Workplace

Like most working people, you have issues every day at work.  These can range
from equal pay, being bullied or maybe having an inadequate sick pay scheme
in your workplace.

So what do you do?  You probably talk to your work colleagues about it, maybe even
a manager, what then?

What if the problem is not resolved?   Where do you go for advice?

Being a member of Unity gives you somewhere else to go.  Somewhere where you
are going to be given expert advice and assistance on how to resolve the problem.

With a union in your workplace you will have an elected representative who will be
trained in all aspects of how to deal with your everyday problems and have the
backing of experienced Union Officials.

Being in a trade union means that you and your colleagues can have a collective voice
so that you can negotiate and defend changes to your terms and conditions of employment.

It is easy to guess what you will be told about unions - You will be forced to go on strike, the union will shut the company down, that the company can resolve its own problems and don't need the union in the workplace.

The truth is simple.  Unions represent employees not companies.

Your employers are more likely to listen to you if you are supported by a union.  Over
90% of the top companies in the UK recognise trade unions.

All employees then have an opportunity to have a collective voice at work.

Don't let the management talk you out of it.
