Can you not just ask a union rep it is depended upon your contract which was signed by you and the employer!

The current contract states that if you are weekly paid you must give 4 weeks notice. If you are monthly paid it is 1 months notice.

contracts changed in April 2017.
if you signed your contract before then a 1 week notice period is required, if you signed after this time then a 1 month period of notice is required.

7 days or 1 month depending on which contract you signed. But to be honest do you think RM would go running to a solicitor for breach of contract if you just walked. Suppose it all depends if you want to leave on good terms or not.
