''If enough of our UK staff wanted us to recognise a trade union we would of course respect their wishes''.

Kate Kelly, M&S Head of Employee Relations and Reward. Jan 2007.

 

M&S union members have told Usdaw that since the B.I.G. Group was created to 'represent' their interests, individual terms and conditions that were once the envy of other retail workers have been gradually eroded.

The B.I.G. Group has clearly failed to halt the erosion of the terms and conditions of M&S staff - now it's time to join Usdaw.

Six BIG reasons to join Usdaw

1. FREE professional employment advice and representation at grievances and disciplinaries.
2. FREE Legal Plus service for any accident anywhere in the UK plus extended services including will writing and conveyancing.
3. FREE health and safety advice and pensions advice.
4. Access to FREE Lifelong Learning courses to boost your confidence and work prospects.
5. Access to a range of FREE Usdaw publications and a special M&S web page at http://www.usdaw.org.uk/campaigns/union4marks/
6. To be fully consulted and informed about changes to terms and conditions.

Joining Usdaw is simple. Many M&S staff have already signed up across the UK because they want an independent union to represent their interests.

Wherever you work, an Usdaw official (Area Organiser) is not far away. For further information or assistance, contact the Usdaw divisional office.

Alternatively you can phone our Helpline 0845 6060640 (calls charged at local rate) to connect you to your divisional office.

You can also join Usdaw online or e-mail: union4marks@usdaw.org.uk
