What is Legal Plus?
This is the union’s free legal service available to members the minute they join Usdaw. See below for further details:
- It offers advice and representation from lawyers who specialise in work-related cases.
- Members keep all of their compensation, with no hidden fees for insurance premiums, unlike many so-called 'no win no fee' companies.
- It also includes other benefits and help and advice for family members.
- For more information on the Legal Plus service contact your local rep/office.
In 2004 Usdaw's Legal Plus service:
- Recovered more than £19 million in compensation for members and their families.
- Handled more than 13,500 cases.
- Represented around 7,600 accident and employment related cases.
- Organised 2,500 free half-hour interviews for members on issues outside of work.
