Why Join?

No matter where you work or what you do, as a worker, you have rights.

Do you know what you are entitled to as a worker? Do you know who to ask or where to go for that information?

All workers have employment rights, including students, part-time and young workers, with entitlements such as an hourly minimum wage rate, breaks during work and rest periods between shifts and paid holidays. And whether your employer recognises a trade union or not, all workers are entitled to join a trade union and become a member.

Whether you want to make changes to improve your workplace or simply need support, the best advice we can give is to join a union, it will be the best decision you have ever made.

It makes sense to become a member today, don’t hesitate to join now
