school caretaker worries

It's worth a try, I'd argue it's not retrospective, it's currently ongoing, hence joining the union to get advice; no different than being nicked and then getting a solicitor, rather than having one on retainer.

TUs don't see it that way Mate sadly, or the ones I dealt with didn't, Prospect, The FDA and r\the PCS, that's why Union membership is always a good choice, just in case, you just never know when you need help. Boy Scout Motto Be prepared. Wish I had stayed a retired member.

As a TU rep I wish this was true ! Unfortunately with the telesales like attitude towards membership numbers they will definitely take you on retrospectively. I can give several instances where a "college" (term used loosely) has join UNI*** and gain their full support despite being a good half way down the disciplinary route. Totally ----ed me off as when they approached me first thing I asked was are you a member ? Knowing they were not, in fact one of them was a complete union hating Thatcherite! Still a phone call and a direct debit latter and in they go. Complete own goal by the unions in my opinion as it ----ed of the paying members of the union that represents skilled workforce.
