join the union, pay your whack in and you will get all that info, not a great lover of any union, but if they are sorting out pay/holidays etc i feel you should pay in

you dont need to join the union to get that info

i know you dont need to join to find out what the union have negotiated for your pay and conditions, i just think you should pay your £2.50 per week to allow them to get these rates for you, if you accept their negotiated rate you should pay a little back, you also get quite good insurance cover etc while a member, although as i said earlier i'm not sure how much back up you will get if required

I'm a member of Unite and have been for a quite a while now. I was just saying you can find the info if you need to. I'm in a a position now where I really dont need to be a member but I will all way pay my dues. I work for a company on the tools but I am also the company director. I dont think I will be calling in the union for disputes or wage consultation do you?

noi dont think you will need the union, but you are doing what i say we should be doing and that is paying your bit in prob knowing you wont get anything back, it can help get your wages sorted so as a union member you will be able to fight your company director, ( i hear he is a right grump!!!!!!)

as i said i am not a great lover of the union ( i also signed a form to say i wanted the political "donation" transferred to charity rather than the Labour party as i wouldnt give them a brown penny) but i hate people who wont pay their 2.50 per week but are happy to ask how the vote went on the last pay negotiations and when will they get their rise.
