Usdaw – Changing your life
By John Hannett, General Secretary
Welcome to your new Arena magazine full of information on what Usdaw – the fastest growing union in the UK – is doing for members like you.
You'll find all the latest campaigning news on Save Our Sundays, Freedom From Fear, Lifelong Learning and Protect Christmas and New Year's Day trading in Scotland.
There's also exciting news on how the union's FREE Legal Plus Service is providing expert legal help to our members either injured or treated unfairly at work. If you need legal assistance make sure you turn to Usdaw's Legal Plus and do not put yourself at the mercy of the so-called 'no win no fee' merchants who often take a large chunk of your compensation or charge a high insurance premium.
Usdaw has members across a whole range of sectors; from retail to distribution; from home shopping to food manufacturing; from pharmaceuticals to chemical processing to name just a few.
We're an 'opportunity union' offering our members the chance to learn new skills, to get involved, and to make a difference to their working lives. There's never been a better time to be an Usdaw member. So wherever you work, whatever your job, you can always rely on Usdaw to help you.
Every union member will receive a copy of Arena at their home address keeping them up-to-date on what's going on in Usdaw. If your work colleagues aren't members take Arena into work and let them see what they're missing. You could also recruit a friend and have the chance to win £500 in our special recruitment draw on pages 20&21.
I hope you enjoy reading Arena. Let us know what you think - we're keen to get as much feedback as possible to help us improve future editions of the magazine. I'd encourage every member to find out more about the union - you may be surprised by how much is going on in Usdaw.
