'What your membership gives you' leaflet (correct at November 2010) available here (PDF 559 KB).
My employer is anti-union - will they find
out if I join?
No. All correspondence is to your home address
unless you instruct us otherwise. No central membership list is kept by any
Parliamentary authorities.
What if I'm already in another union?
Joint membership is no problem. If you want to stay in another union for
historical reasons, no problem - but remember unless you join Unite we can't advise you.
What if I'm in
another branch of Unite?
We can arrange transfer into our branch - just
send us your membership number.
I probably won't have time to attend
branch meetings - does that matter?
No. Just phone or email us with any issues you
would like to see raised - that's what many of our members in constituency
offices do. If you have a major issue to raise, you can write an article for
our branch mailing or newsletter.
