Welcome E-Mail for New Staff

Dear <<New Member of Staff's Name>>,

I am writing to invite you to join the trade union UNISON. As the UK’s largest union, we support and protect more than1.3 million working people and offer a huge range of benefits to our members.

As a new member of staff with Liverpool John Moores University, you will be joining 500+ of your colleagues in the union.

As a UNISON member you will have:

• Unrivalled protection and representation at work;

• Help with your pay and conditions of service;

• Health and safety guidance and support;

• Confidential welfare services for you and your dependents in difficult times;

· Education and training advice and courses, leading to vocational and professional qualifications;

· Special deals on everything from computers, tax returns, holidays, mortgages, car breakdown services, insurance and credit cards.

I have attached an application form, a leaflet about the union and information about the up and coming pay ballot. Feel free to check out our branch website https://unisonljmu.org.uk or our branch blog https://unisonljmu.blogspot.com/ for more information, as well as copies of our branch newsletter E-News. If you would like to join online or by telephone, please visit our website at https://join.unison.org.uk/ or ring UNISON on 0800 171 2194.

If you would like to discuss any work-related issue or the work of the union, please contact either <<Rep Name>>, <<Rep Name>> or myself via email or in person.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,
