Trade Unions - Memberships

Matt S.

Are you part of any trade unions? Which ones? What sort of things do they stand for?

I'm a member of the NUS (National Union of Students). They stand for things like dropping student fees, because students end up with a huge burden of thousands of pounds of debt when they graduate.

Yeah, UFCW. Union of Food something something workers. From working in a grocery store, I'm usually for unions, but this one does jackshit really. Only benefits I see is second guessing the store's decisions on firings, suspensions and salary disputes, so thats pretty good, but nothing past that. The $30+ per paycheque isn't usually worth it.

Well I'm on Student Council, and I'm head of the dance committee (I find that quite funny). I know that doesn't count...
