Member Benefits
UNISON offers additional fringe membership benefits such as cheaper mortgages and insurance, holiday clubs, shopping discounts, credit cards, discounted car breakdown membership.
Why join a union?
More than 3 million people throughout the UK are members of trade unions. This means that when there's a problem at work, they know they have the backing of a strong organisation. They can get legal assistance, help with workplace injuries or support with a disciplinary action.
But belonging to a union means much more. Unions address discrimination, offer training opportunities and negotiate agreements that improve many areas of their members' lives. And yet union contributions represent only about half a percent of a worker's earnings. Find out more about the advantages of union membership below.
