Representation

These are the organisations representing the interests of MPs’ staff which we know about.

You can be a member of more than one Trade Union if you are happy to pay two lots of membership subscriptions.

What sorts of issues are escalated to the Unions about the MPs?

Usually things like contracts not issued in relevant timescales, over-working staff or giving staff higher level work to do but only paying them for a lower level role.
