Hello
I'm new to the forum. I work for a FM company that provides cover for one of the big Supermarkets. The firm has various trades eg Sparks like me, fridge engineers, HVAC, alarm and CCTV. The sparks in the area that I cover have been talking about joining the union because of the amount changes the company are forcing on us with little or no warning. One of the longer term guys chipped in and said he tried approaching the union about us joining a few years back. But was told that a certain percentage of the staff would have to join before they would represent us. But the problem then as it is now is that the firm also employs all the cleaning staff for the supermarket .
Just wondering if we have any AEEU members or staff that use the forum that could shed some light on this for me.
Thanks.
