  • Surely your employer only "recognises" one or two unions? Why not speak to colleagues or check with HR.
    Tbh, you've not had any responses as you've posted in the wrong subforum and have provided very little info.

    I would say UNITE as they have a finance arm and a general side. Otherwise maybe GMB?

    seems unnecessarily harsh - as less than 30 minutes after the OP !

    I joined the most popular one in my workplace - Unison.


    I knew who my rep would be too so knew how easy to contact they can be.

    Would that be up-selling the position of a secondhand car salesman ?

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    If your employer does not recognise the union why are you wanting to join ?

    To give me piece of mind and if the poop hits the fan at work I can get advice from my union. Just because my work place doesn't recognise a union doesn't mean I shouldn't join one. HR departments aren't the place to go for advice as they are for the employer rather than the employee.
