Community membership offers 100% protection for less than 1% of your wage.
In recognised workplaces Community negotiates collective agreements which improve the terms and conditions of members across the board compared to non-union workplaces.
Community also offers protection against injury at work, securing over £8 million in compensation in the last three years (2005-7), without keeping a penny of the payouts.
