Shouty person<p>It turns out the rest of us *can* join a union. </p><p>It looks like <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/UniteTheUnion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UniteTheUnion</span></a> is the most obvious choice. But I'm new to this.</p><p>So… Those of you more knowledgeable than I… Should I join Unite, i.e. the same union my employer recognises? Is there one that’s best for financial services workers? Is there a benefit to picking one over another?</p><p> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/JoinAUnion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JoinAUnion</span></a></p>
Shouty person<p>The more I read, the more convinced I am that the only way forward is by working together. Governments and employers keep trying to push change from the top down. We combat that by working together to drive change from the bottom up. One key player in that will be unions.</p><p>I've always thought that calls to join a union didn't include me. My employer recognises and works with a union – but only at the lower levels. Those of us classed as ‘management’ are exempt.</p><p>But…</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/JoinAUnion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JoinAUnion</span></a></p>
