Excited to find a union that is affordable, non-political and actually cares about it's members! Joined and received a phone call within a day, then I had some questions a few weeks later and Sarah was able to answer them quickly and professionally. Best decision I ever made.

Couldn't have been more helpful and professional. Thank you so much. Highly recommended. More affordable than the union I had paid for years (who were not helpful at all when I needed them).

All good so far! I received a call after signing up from a really friendly staff member (who has worked as nurse).
