I signed up for this union because I thought is the most competent one as is everywhere. I needed them in January and apart of one of the reps coming to a meeting with me nothing happened. I was advised so,so wrong. Is the first time when I had problems so i trusted them knowing more than I do,but I made a big mistake trusting them.For 8 months I tried to make them do something and they said they’ve done everything. After that meeting the rep stood there and asked the manager if she knows a man that firms for a trust that has the same last name as she did so little respect for me as I was quite unhappy after the meeting.In June I was told there will be a “conflict of interest” and I asked between whom and whom and I haven’t received an answer to this day. As nobody from my local branch was able to help me in a simple case (I had screenshots and messages and you could see very clearly that there was a breach of company policy-should have been very straight forward if they wanted to help as it wasn’t a she said he said situation) I filled the complaint form on their website and Joseph McCusker answered and he sent what I’ve wrote in that form to the branch and I was contacted by one of the reps. I did not mentioned the names of the reps in that as,again,all I wanted was my problem solved. But I thought that my complaint will be dealt with by a senior member. So I went in circles and nothing happened.£11.07 per month for nothing. I don’t recommend Unison,if you are looking for a union look somewhere else.
