What if I have an existing workplace problem?
For problems that existed before you join Unite, your
workplace representative may assist you with internal procedures
such as disciplinary and grievance hearings but the union will not
assist you with an Employment Tribunal or Court claim. You
will need to have paid at least one month’s subscription for
assistance from a workplace representative.
For problems which arise after you join, you may be
entitled to legal representation once you have been a member
for 13 weeks, (although for personal injury claims this
requirement may be waived, so if you or a member of your family has
an accident in the UK after joining, then you can apply for
assistance). The minimum membership period is at the
discretion of the Union’s Executive Council.
