We have a member support centre with legal advisors dedicated to supporting you with any question you have or any help you may need. The coronavirus has shown just how important it is to have someone on your side for when things get tough. We’re always in your corner, through key changes in your life and especially when issues at work get complicated. If you do face difficulties, we’re always available to come and represent you when you need us.
10 reasons to join Community
We are a modern trade union which works to protect and improve the interests of our members at work, and beyond. Community is committed to doing all we can to support our members and their loved ones. Our priority is protecting our members’ jobs and livelihoods and supporting the communities where our members live.
Below are 10 reasons why you should join Community today:
Help and support
Better pay as well as terms and conditions
We secure fair treatment, fair pay and fair pensions by supporting our members with individual and collective representation, working with employers to get the best deal for you.
Campaigning on issues that matter to you
We use our influence and resources to campaign on issues in the workplace and beyond – that affect our members' lives and that our members care deeply about. From our petition on getting PPE to our frontline workers, to campaigning for better mental health in the workplace and ending homelessness in the UK, we champion the causes close to our members.
A safer, healthier and more inclusive workplace
We help to create safer workplaces for all through a constructive approach to working with your employers, through dedicated training and our network of union health & safety or equalities reps. We ensure that every worker is treated with respect and dignity.
Opportunities to develop
We help you to develop within your current job and open up opportunities to you through bespoke training. If you’re a member of Community you can access hundreds of free online courses.
Support for your community
Each of our members has local communities that they care deeply about – whether it’s a local charity or your kid's football team – Community has a special fund to support your community.
A better world of work
We want you to have a better experience wherever you work and however you work. Whether you’re a steelworker, a care worker, self-employed or in any other job, we’re striving to make your experiences at work better – to give you more rights, more access to government resources, better pay or more respect at work – you name, it we’re working on it.
Discounts and savings
We source and deliver a range of fantastic benefits for our members; if you make the most of these you can save more than the cost of your union membership.
Expand your networks
We offer the chance to connect and interact with other Community members across the UK - share experiences, exchange ideas on common goals, collaborate on campaigns and celebrate your achievements.
A strong collective voice
The bigger we are, the stronger our voice is and we use that voice in the interest of our members. Join us, be part of our collective voice and make sure we use it on the things that matter to you.
