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 359,000 members, voted overwhelmingly for an increase in the weekly subscription from 30 June 2008. This increase will ensure that the union retains a sound financial base and can continue to offer you a comprehensive range of professional services.

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.
