What is the Union doing for the members to bring pay in line with the inflation we have had over the last five years, particularly in the offshore renewables sector? I see doctors striking – how can you help?

We are active in recruiting members in windfarm and renewable energy sectors and are actively perusing agreements where density exists to justify collective bargaining. This process will be supercharged by the expected changes in employment legislation currently working their way through the UK parliament.
