If you've taken a look through our website you'll have a fairly clear idea of what we are, how we work, our vision, and our history. You'll also understand something about the make up of the union. But a union has more to do with people in their workplaces than structures and visions. The PSA is its members, in thousands of workplaces around the country. The PSA brings together workers in your industry, promotes your needs, improves and protects your working conditions and pay, and represents your interests to management.
Employers take notice when all their staff speak in unison.
We think that's a small price to pay for having a collective voice that influences your conditions of employment, your work methods, your employers' business plans, and your work environment. You get real value for money as a union member. If these rates were any lower, the union would have less of a resource base to work alongside you in your relationship with your employer. Discuss the issue with your PSA delegate or your organiser. Take collective responsibility for union decisions.
