Our services and benefits package cannot be beaten
Usdaw’s services and benefits package offers fantastic value for money and ranks amongst the very best of all Britain’s trade unions whilst ensuring the subscription rate you pay remains one of the lowest.
At our recent Annual Conference, Usdaw delegates, representing all 341,000 members, voted overwhelmingly for an increase in the weekly subscription from 2 July 2007. This increase will ensure that the union retains a sound financial base and can continue to offer you a comprehensive range of professional services.
Our legal services can make a real difference
Legal Plus offers you and your family a wide range of legal services. In 2006 almost £18.9 million was won in compensation for our members. Key aspects of the Legal Plus service include:
- FREE legal service for members from the day you join, with no hidden payments covering every aspect of your rights at work
- If you win you keep all your compensation. Neither Usdaw or our solicitors take a cut of your damages
- Advice from lawyers who specialise in work-related accident and disease cases
- You are covered for any accident in the UK, any time, any place
- LOW COST probate and conveyancing service for you and your partner
- Your immediate family are fully covered for road traffic accident claims
- FREE initial interview on any matter with resulting assistance at competitive rates
Professional services from a modern union
- FREE professional assistance and advice on all employment matters including grievance and disciplinary hearings
Full details of Usdaw's benefits and professional services are available from your union rep or the Usdaw helpline on 0845 6060640 (calls charged at local rate) or visit the Member Services section on our web site.
The Legal Plus service is offered subject to the Rules of the Scheme. A member must be fully paid up at the time of the problem and remain so. Legal assistance will not be granted to a family member if they should have been in Usdaw themselves. Legal assistance cannot be granted to bring proceedings against the union.
To get the best protection at work, join Usdaw, the shopworkers' union. See join rates for more information.
Benefits are payable in accordance with the union rule book and any entitlement depends on paying your contributions regularly and not falling into arrears. Benefits can only be claimed (except dispute and victimisation benefit) after 12 months' continuous membership. For more information see our members cash benefits section.
