Unite the Union Recensioni 893

Absolutely useless, all they care about is that you do not cancel your direct debit so they can keep milking you.
The moment you need their help they suddenly become "unavailable".
You want to report harassment at work mate? No such thing, f...k off.

Useless, Absolutely useless

My union ignored my grievances, told me my case had “no merit,” and pulled out two weeks before tribunal when I refused an unfair settlement. I went on to win alone — proving they were wrong. We pay for protection, but I was abandoned. Unions aren’t regulated, That must change. I’ve now started a petition to Parliament to demand regulation, so other workers don’t suffer as I have.

I was a senior nurse in nhs. The unite union helped kill me in the work place and sided with a person from another union with a malicious complaint against me that wasn't upheld. I'm BAEM. Unite and Sharon graham's army are racists in denial. I advise if you are a member leave. If your not a member don't join this racist union who will kill baem staff in the work place when you most need them. I was out of work for 17 months thanks to unite racism toward me.

While I was having trouble at work with individuals and pay scales, I contacted Unite at Glan Clwyd Hospital three times by email, getting no reply. The email was correct as the emails didn't bounce back. I couldn't wait any longer so i resigned. After that, I got in touch with Unite Wales about the issues, and they've just gone round in circles. I got in touch with a senior rep who basically sent me round in circles. asking me repeatedly what the issue was.
I would not recommend this union to a cat or dog.
Being as this is the standard, I cannot imagine that the indemnity I paid for would be worth anything, if push came to shove.
My recommendation is that you join something else, there are other options.

As a disabled individual with a neurodevelopmental disorder, I relied on Unite to assist in submitting a claim against my former employer for disability discrimination.

I was ignored by my representative 10 times, and upon filing a complaint and escalating it three times, the response focused on semantics and the terms I used within my complaint rather than the fact that I had been ignored 10 times.

The terms in which I use may not be accurate, however this is irrelavent to what my complaint was about. Despite escalating three times, I was still declined representation.

In the complaint response, they quoted something I sent onto their portal (something I had to do repeatedly) from 4 months ago as a "gotcha" and ignored the actual basis of my complaint.

Both escalations ignored the fact that I wasn't represented despite chasing over 10 times within a 3 month period, and instead stated that it was my responsibility by the regional secretary. Essentially inferring that despite being ignored repeatedly, it's my fault.

I feel that instead of spending £112 million on a hotel, it would be more beneficial to use that money to train their representatives at a fraction of a cost.

Great company. I love how they'll spend all your subscription money paying clowns to protest for the dirty boat rats and anything they can think of for good measure money well wasted instead of actually helping the people who need it most

No support, rude and their legal services are actively trying to sabotage my case to force me to take a low settlement with my company.

Very poor.

I can't put nothing one star. But not do anything defend the company not the member. Call many times and didn't call me back. Waste the money.

I am a member of Unite and phoned up to ask for support with a work issue and the lady on the phone could not have been less helpful.

Only ever called the once, and once was enough. I missed the first phone call, and received a voicemail saying he'd call me at 10:30 the next day. I thought that was handy, around break time. He phoned at 8:30 causing me to be delayed in my job. Was patronizing and wouldn't answer any further questions I had, only gave the same answer as he did. I got it loud and clear the first time. I got on with my job and then made contact when I settled down from being cross. I cancelled my membership immediately.

She saw my call as a huge inconvenience to her day and did everything she could to get me off the phone.

She didn't even say goodbye and just put the phone down.

For clarity, I was very polite.

If you are looking for a supportive union, that you can count on when needed, look elsewhere.

I unfortunately had a terrible experience with an inexperienced officer who had to keep checking answers to questions, told incorrect information and kept saying how busy he was with other cases. Didn’t give the full attention required to case. Avoid at all cost!

Was a decent company until a new PM in charge. Now, that I needed help, is a terrible experience and not interested in helping.
I've paid for over 20 years and this is the worst they've ever been. Save your money.

The worst organisation in my life that have come across!!! This company sucks the money and life out of their members. They are rude and disrespectful and this is all they way from management down to admin- the management make it ok to behave horribly and that’s why this union is going down the drain!!! The MPs are going to hear about the experience I’ve had and I will ensure that this organization pays for what they’ve put members through!!! Shame on you money sucking vultures!!!!

Wish i could give a zero. I have supported myself. Years of paying subs and when you need the help and support you get none. I am so disappointed with unite and urge people to join another union. Called up to make a complaint and was given an email address and told they will cancel my subscription without my complaint being dealt with first.

Hi I have been the member of GMB union from many years when I needed help for minor case they raised so many questions about my membership to avoid the represent the case i recommend everyone think twice before you join i had very bad experiences is waste of money.

They literally never been help at all.
You email someone and it takes ages for them to get back to you.
Shocking

Excellent service

They failed to support the Darlington 8 nurses over gender in female changing room.
The Health Secretary has intervened and made Darlington health service give them biological female changing rooms only.

I signed up for Unite, thinking they'd be able to deliver quick employment help if I found myself in a situation where I needed it. I called today only to discover that all they do is pass your details onto someone else who may or may not contact you at an undetermined time. Seriously, folks. This is what paying members get -- nothing. I'm shocked at how awful the system is to receive advice (literally the whole point of your service, Unite).
