YMMV. I paid to join a union when I worked in the public sector (Unison, I think) and they ended up being useless when I had a problem with my employer. They just 'advised' me that there was nothing I could do and to let it go.
I think an actual lawyer would probably be better value for money.
- markdown 12y agoWithout any info about what the issue was, your anecdote is useless. If you murdered a customer, your Union will probably "advise" you that there is nothing you can do to keep your job.
- crdoconnor 12y agoI explained the situation to a lawyer I knew years later and they stated that there were options and the union probably just couldn't be bothered to get involved. >If you murdered a customer Oh yeah, that was totally it eyeroll.
