Trade Union Membership
The early years profession is supported by a number of trade unions who offer their services to look after their members employed in the sector. Trade unions propose that members may benefit from the strength and security that comes from people working together to tackle problems.
Trade unions negotiate with employers on behalf of union members to agree: wages; work rules; complaint procedures; workplace safety; the rules governing hiring and firing; and promotion of workers benefits. For a membership fee, unions offer a variety of support to members.
