Legal expenses cover

Post by Bahia Feliz »

Do the union cover us for legal expenses as part of a clinical negligence claim through a 'no win no fee' solicitors?
I have emailed cwu with this question but I thought I may get an answer from here quicker! Cheers.

I dont think so but give Unionline a call, or check your household insurance, they sometimes have such a service with their policies.
The freephone number for Unionline on 0300 333 0303 can also be used to obtain legal advice on other non work related issues. Additionally, members will also be able to get advice on employment law procedures. This is a new service. However, this will not include assessing the merits of any claim.

When using these new services, members will be required to provide their membership number.

These changes do not affect those Branches in the Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and IOM. Their existing arrangements will continue.
