Arena puts membership issues at the heart of its four editions. The aim of the magazine is to keep Usdaw members informed of what is happening in the Union, its campaigns, the services and offers available to them and where they can go for help.

A diverse range of Usdaw members take centre stage by sharing their stories about legal wins, their passions and hobbies, as well as courageously raising awareness about living and working with serious health conditions and other issues that matter to them.

The first digital issue of Arena was launched in autumn 2023. 

The summer issue is out now, covering Usdaw workplace wins and renters’ rights; Usdaw member Christoper Baker shares his story of guardianship; we focus on pensions; how to avoid leaving your pension to your ex; and guidance on what your entitled to if your flight gets cancelled; alongside all the regular campaigning updates, Injury Assist, health and safety and so much more.
