A lot of us don't work it situations where unions cover us, and earning £4 an hour many employees cannot afford to join them, even on £6.50 it is a stretch to ask people to join unions IMO.
Well there are no closed shops anymore and union membership is not compulsory, but I was suggesting that, for all those who wished to avoid "Bullying", at work, a unions knowledge of employment law is a great help. Over my working life , since 1970, I have paid between £3 and £8.50 a month in union fees, so a relatively small percentage of my salary and , although I hardy ever needed my unions help, if I went back in time I would pay it all again because I saw the help that they gave to many people in my area. Over the years most people have spent more than £2 a week on cigarettes and drink and I just saw my union fees as being a better investment.
