UNISONPlus Membership Services
UNISON has appointed 16 companies as UNISONPlus approved suppliers. To get this endorsement, not only must they be able to offer members savings and added value offers, but UNISON also requires
them to operate very high standards of customer care and to support the union's aims and objectives.
UNISONPlus approved companies must agree to:
- support and encourage trade union membership for their own staff;
- support UNISON's regions and branches and national campaigns;
- support There for you, UNISON's welfare charity;
- operate equal opportunities, ethical and environmental policies;
- operate an agreed complaints procedure;
- operate responsible lending and debt management policies.
Each year more than 500,000 of these services are used by UNISON members – look for the UNISONplus logo.

Legal expenses insurance
Many insurance companies will try to include legal expenses insurance for personal injury claims with your insurance policy, often at an additional cost.
As a UNISON member you get free legal assistance when you sustain a personal injury through UNISON's legal assistance scheme.
This is provided by UNISON's lawyers, Thompsons Solicitors.
UNISON-endorsed insurers, UIA and LV Frizzell, do not include legal expenses insurance to cover these circumstances in the policies offered to UNISON members and refer all such claims to Thompsons
Solicitors.
For information about the UNISON legal assistance available from Thompsons please contact UNISONdirect on 0800 0 857 857.
