TUC: Comp 5, Trade Union Membership, raised concerns that in 2008 trade union membership and density in the UK both declined. NEC member Susan Highton said ‘the recession is hitting our families and communities hard. Members are looking at their wages and thinking what do I not need to pay! It cannot be their union subs it is times like this that their subs are a must”.
Sue continued to say, “we are fighting to defend their jobs and services. We must be the voice of Britain at work to do this we need to be seen and heard in every workplace”.
