A member is entitled to receive free legal assistance in accordance with UNISON Rule K, providing s/he has been in membership of the union for at least four weeks prior to the incident or occurrence that leads to her/him seeking legal assistance from the union. For the purpose of administering this rule membership starts from the date upon which the member’s completed application form is received by a branch or regional office (recorded as the “entered office date” on the membership register). Generally, UNISON will not provide representative support in respect of issues that occur with the first four weeks of membership or which pre-date the member joining. However, in respect of members who join and bring an equal pay claim as part of UNISON’s mass litigation process, the NEC has waived the qualifying period. The four week rule will continue to apply to these members for all other services.
Advice and representation should initially be provided by your UNISON Workplace Steward. If you do not have a UNISON Workplace Steward or do not know who your UNISON Workplace Steward is please contact the branch on 01926 412199 or email us at office@unisonwcc.co.uk.
We would advise that you contact UNISON as soon as possible when you are experiencing issues in the workplace. Please be aware of the 4 week rule above.
