Why Join

Why join a Union?   Ever wondered what the trade union movement in Britain has done for us? Equal pay, equal opportunities, maternity pay and flexible working hours. Most people join a union because they want protection at work – help with pay and conditions of service, legal or health and safety advice or representation in case things go wrong. That’s what we’re here for.

This short film explains how the trade unions have changed working life.

The benefits of joining us

Most people join a union because they want protection at work – help with pay and conditions of service, legal or health and safety advice or representation in case things go wrong. That’s what we’re here for. Nationwide Group Staff Union (NGSU) works on behalf of its members in four broad areas.

Terms & Conditions

Terms and Conditions: We negotiate and consult on pay, working hours, holidays and a wide range of other terms and conditions. We work hard to make sure that NGSU members receive some of the best employment conditions on offer and are treated with respect and dignity and have equality of opportunity to fulfil their potential.

Advice & Support

We help many members every day by listening to their concerns and pointing them in the right direction for help. It may be simply checking out what terms and conditions you’re entitled to or seeking help in applying for flexible working. All advice and support is free and confidential and specialist advice is available from our legal experts. We’ll only take things further for you if you want us to.

Individual help at Work

We help and support individual members with problems at work. This might be helping someone raise a complaint about their working conditions or representing them through a disciplinary or capability hearing. There’s a good chance that whatever your issue we’ve helped someone with similar concerns in the past – so don’t suffer on your own, we’re here to help.
