"Our dispute is over the decision by #Unite Management to unilaterally recognise a staff association with no mandate or majority support from within Unite Officers. This is something that not only goes against a democratic decision taken by the majority of Unite Officers, but stands in contrast to the very principles of collective responsibility, lay member-led decision making, and basic #TradeUnion values that Unite as both a trade union and our employer stands for."

Has anyone got any good recommendations for a union for retail? I was with gmb some years ago and they were crap. I switched to RBA and they were okay, I mean they at least responded. I left when I lost my job during lockdown. When I tried to get back in, they acted really strange and very red flaggy, not at all like they used to be. No one answered when I phoned but they refused to answer any questions about membership.

I'm with #UniteTheUnion at the moment and they have only ever got back to me once. So I'm wondering what exactly I'm paying them for. That included ignoring reports of physical abuse from my manager.

I've heard usdaw are kinda crap too, are there any good unions here at all?
