An invitation to join the Communication
Workers Union (CWU) - a modern trade union working for you
At the CWU we offer communication workers and their families help and
support in a whole lot of different ways both at and away from work …
Representation Close at Hand
We have a network of trained local officials providing professional
representation throughout the communication industry. So you'll never be
far away from someone who can offer speedy advice and assistance.
If more detailed help is required - no problem. The CWU has a field
force of specialist officers ready to help.
In short - we're there to provide help when and where you need it.
We're Working for you
The CWU is a modern forward thinking union working for you. We are
geared for the twenty-first century, but we have all the background
knowledge and experience you would expect from a union that has
represented workers in communications since the middle of the nineteenth
century.
Support and advice
You could be fortunate and may never need some of our services - but
everyone needs a helping hand now and again. For that reason we provide
advice and representation for our members at grievance and disciplinary
interviews. We also have an excellent record in successfully
representing members at Employment Tribunals.
As a CWU member, these valuable services are free to you.
Campaigning for your future
The CWU is a first-class effective campaigning organisation. We have a
proven track record of running professional and successful campaigns on
a whole range of issues, including many parliamentary campaigns.
We have recently conducted high level campaigns on employment rights,
equality issues, health and safety at work and regulation within the
communication industry. We continue to look to the future and are
leading the way in the campaign to raise standards in Call Centres where
the CWU now has over 30,000 members.
We are and want to remain a union for the future - a union for your
future.
Join your colleagues
The CWU is the biggest union within the communication industry and we
are one of the biggest trade unions in the UK, with a membership of
250,000. Size may not be everything, but it does ensure that we have
enormous influence and are well respected.
Free Legal Advice
The CWU is very proud of its top class professional Legal Services
department, which gives expert advice and exclusive assistance to our
members. Last year alone, the CWU won nearly £26 million in compensation
claims for our members and their families.
Democratic and accountable
Your membership entitles you to vote for
the people who will represent you. This is because we are a democratic
organisation which listens to our members views and is run by our
members.
Keeping in touch
Obviously, as a major force in the communications industry, the CWU is
keen to keep in regular touch with all its members. Every CWU member
receives a copy of the highly successful union newspaper the CWU Voice
delivered to their home.
