If you are experiencing a problem at work or just want to discuss any issues you are concerned about please call us or request a call back for free confidential advice with no obligation.

What does a Trade Union Representative do?

A Trade Union Representative is tasked with offering employees advice and support when they are dealing with a problem at work. They are skilled professionals trained to deal with a wide range of employment and HR issues and are on hand to offer support, be it in the form of advice or as an advocate acting on behalf of and representing an employee in their time of need.

How can a Trade Union Representative help me?

Our fully qualified and experienced Trade Union representatives are on hand to help you with any concerns you may have with your employer and any issues you may face while in employment. Our Trade Union reps are here to:

  • accompany and represent you during any disciplinary and/or grievance hearings with management
  • represent you in negotiations (‘collective bargaining’) over your pay and terms and conditions of employment
  • meet with your employer to find solutions to workplace issues
  • develop the best possible health and safety procedures with your employer

Our representatives are here to act on your behalf and can:

  • present and sum up your case;
  • responding on your behalf to any view expressed at the meeting;
  • ask your employer the right question;
  • confer with you during the hearing; and
  • ensure that the correct processes are followed.

How are you different to a Trade Union?

We are not a Trade Union, we are a private company providing specialised employment law and HR support and advice. Our advisers are on hand to give you confidential impartial advice as and when you need and we can facilitate you with a fully qualified Trade Union Representative on an as needed basis. Unlike a Trade Union you don't have to be a member with us to get representation and their is no qualifying period before you can get any help. We provide you with the help you need when you need with no long term obligation.

What an amazing team. I recently found myself on suspension after a call of mine was monitored by the company I work for. I felt at the time that it was unfair and did acknowledge the mistake straight away.

Do not suffer alone

From a very horrible 2 years of grievances with my work manager and work place of 10 years. I unfortunately was left at a dismissal hearing with no representation or Union member to help me show and explain my side of the issues involved.
