UK: Unions make work a fair bit safer
Unions make work safer, fairer and better, a new TUC guide shows. 'The union advantage' demonstrates the benefits of unions not only to individual workers but to employers and society as well. It points to government research that established union health and safety reps save taxpayers hundreds of millions of pounds each year by reducing lost time from occupational injuries and work-related illness. It adds union members have 3.8 days more paid leave on average than non-union members. And they also benefit in their pay packets; 55 per cent of unionised workplaces had pay rises in 2011, compared to just 35 per cent of non-unionised workplaces. TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "Workers in the UK who are members of trade unions are better paid, safer at work and get more paid holidays than workers who aren't in a union." She added: "Our new guide, 'The union advantage', sets out these benefits and how we achieve them through strong negotiation, and by working with employers and government for an economy with decent jobs and sustainable growth."
