Pause before you respond

Asked to attend a meeting?Start here.

Before you answer questions, sign anything, or walk into a serious meeting, work out which pathway applies to you.

The right next step depends on whether you are already a UWU member.

If you are a member, seek formal union advice. If you are not, focus on slowing the process down and avoiding rushed admissions.

Are you already a United Workers Union member?

Choose the option that applies to you right now.

The United Workers Union can generally only provide formal help, representation, and case support to people who were already members before the issue happened.

Pick a pathway above.

If you are already a member, the best move is to get formal help from the union. If you are not a member, this page will show you how to slow things down and avoid being rushed.

Still unsure?

Send GWU the basics and include screenshots if you have them. We can help point you in the right direction.
