BENEFITS:
Lets just look at PROSPECT
Ten good reasons to join Prospect
1. We negotiate on your behalf on pay, grading, and other terms and conditions of employment such as hours, leave, pensions etc. We are recognised by over 300 public and private sector employers.
2. We provide specialist advice on work-related problems. Every year we handle thousands of personal cases on issues ranging from appraisal appeals to disciplinary cases, right through to employment tribunals, with a high success rate. (But please note that we reserve the right not to take up cases for members where the event giving rise to the case occurred before that person became a member.)
3. Our 1,300 local safety representatives help protect your health and safety at work. They deal with issues ranging from stress to hazardous substances.
4. LegalLine, our free 24-hour telephone helpline, offers high quality legal advice on almost any problem except employment law.
5. Our personal injury scheme provides assistance to members and their families who are injured or become ill through the negligence of a third party. In 2009 we helped 107 claimants win a total of over ?4m in damages. And our ClaimLine provides a fast-track service for personal injury claims over the telephone or via the internet. We also have special compensation schemes for radiation-linked diseases and noise-induced deafness cases.
6. Our benevolent fund provides grants to members, retired members and their dependents in financial distress. In 2009 we helped 25 members, giving over ?35,000 in grants.
7. We negotiate with employers for proper training and career development programmes, as well as providing a range of our own services, including an online career development portfolio.
8. We are a campaigning organisation, well-respected for our work on issues such as science funding, energy policy and quality public services. Prospect is non-party political, but our members' expertise makes our voice count.
9. We fight discrimination at work and in society. Our equal opportunities work includes negotiating family-friendly policies in the workplace, and our own career development project for ethnic minority staff.
10. We have an excellent range of members' deals and discounts.
Even if you're employed on a personal contract and aren't covered by collective negotiations on your pay, terms and conditions, Prospect can help. We have a special contracts advice hotline and can represent you in disciplinary and grievance actions.
the TUC will help to create a link and a Working Party group that represents all aspects of heritage thus ensuring joined up thinking... formed of all the unions.
Quote:And I agree that the Union subs would be a worthy investment in the future if that union could really change things.....Can only change things if you join.... if you don't - it can't and you will be sitting there saying... nothing changed... this is the choice for people... change it OR accept your lot.

SO now you know...
As to the project specific...
Quote:(e.g. is overtime a likely requirement is it at time and a half etc.). These little details are job specific as they are dictated by the specific contract with the specific client.surely overtime is a company policy - not a day to day concept... Today you will tomorrow you won't as you have moved to a different site... :face-huh: smooth running of a site... as a PO... well thats exactly what the job is... so it can't really be compared to negotiations on an industry basis. I would hope... dear god say yes ... that if you got to a site and there was no portaloo OR the fridge was too small that you would not have to enter into negotiations with either a) your company or b) the client to get that sorted... its the little things in life
know them only too well.So hopefully, you see the actual cost of joining.... you see the benefits to the sector as a whole from top to bottom, you see the need... so what's stopping you? OR is you company a non-union / anti-union?
