Who we help
We help all kinds of UK workers and employees. We can also help as soon as you join. We even help with existing problems.
How we help
Minimise uncertainty
by getting the best advice when you need it.
“First of all I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your legal advice. I truly appreciate the skill, the time and effort placed into drafting such a meticulous document. I am so very thankful for your time and your supportive advice.”
Karim.
Reduce anxiety during an investigation meeting.
“I want to thank and support everyone at the National Employees Union. They were great during investigation meetings; and today, I was shocked when the panel decided not to sanction or discipline me and dropped the case! No other union offers this level of support, so if you aren’t a member, join as soon as possible.”
Natalie.
Maximise the likelihood that a disciplinary hearing will be fair.
“So today I attended a 2nd meeting with my employer, this time a disciplinary hearing. Once again massive thanks to Zoe for her support and guidance. The outcome was fair and just. Best thing I did was join the National Employees Union. Thank you all.”
Katie.
Increase the chances of being taken seriously in a grievance hearing.
“I am most grateful for the validation and vindication that the ‘back of the mind’ niggle saying that something ‘wasn’t right’ or ‘fair’, was indeed correct, justified, and with National Employees Union involvement will be redressed and rectified.”
Peter.
Boost the likelihood that sickness meetings will be supportive.
“Good afternoon, I’m so sorry for late email but I would like to say a big thank you for representing me in my Stage 2 Sickness Meeting. Your presence made me feel calm and secure. I also want to thank all the National Employees Union team for always quick response and support.”

“Thank you to National Employees Union for everything you have done for us. I’ve been a member since the beginning and will certainly be staying a member. This union is more than just a union, you have brought us all together on a grand scale, to support each other through the hardest of times. You can’t put a price on that.”
About us
National Employees Union was formed in September 2021 in response to Regulations requiring care workers and NHS staff to be vaccinated, in order to keep their jobs. Major trade unions had abandoned 40,000 care workers and 100,000 NHS staff.
We questioned the Regulations on the legal basis that they were beyond the powers of parliament, discriminatory, and a violation of fundamental human rights.
Since then we have advised and represented members on a wide range of issues in almost every workplace sector in the UK, including: banking, construction, councils, fast food, government departments, healthcare, hospitality, mining, off-shore, retail, shipping, and teaching.
Legal
Every worker has the legal right to be represented by the trade union of their choice.
Trade unions only need to be recognised for collective bargaining about holidays, hours, or pay.
On 9 May 2023 the Certification Officer for Trade Unions and Employers’ Associations entered the National Employees Union in the Registered List of trade unions.
