Union 101: Why The Workers Union Operates Differently
This figure is not chosen at random. It symbolises our Union 101 rule: every member is equal, every membership fee is equal, and every member receives the same high level of service without delay, political distraction, or unnecessary bureaucracy.
When people hear the term “101”, they often think of a beginner’s guide or the basics of understanding something new. At The Workers Union, 101 holds a much deeper meaning. It represents fairness, equality, and accessibility for all working people. It also reflects our annual membership fee of just £101 a year, which equates to only 0.27p a day.
Unlike many traditional organisations that can charge up to three times as much for membership, The Workers Union is committed to offering cost-effective support, while maintaining efficiency and responsiveness. Our mission is simple: to put the worker first.

What Union 101 Means
- Equality at the core: No tiered pricing or different levels of service. Whether you are a new recruit or a long-serving professional, you pay the same fee and receive the same support.
- Straightforward membership: £101 annually, with no hidden costs, meaning clarity and fairness for every worker.
- A new approach to worker support: Union 101 symbolises directness and simplicity—breaking away from outdated models and focusing purely on you.
Why The Workers Union Operates Differently
Our approach is guided by efficiency, transparency, and responsiveness. We are not the largest union in the UK, but that is part of our strength. By keeping our structure streamlined, we can react quickly to our members’ needs—day or night.
There are no long waiting periods before you receive help. There is no political agenda overshadowing your voice. Instead, our goal is to ensure that workers can access professional support whenever they need it most.
We believe that working people should not have to pay inflated membership fees to secure quality assistance. By prioritising low costs and high-quality service, The Workers Union is proving that size does not equal strength—efficiency and fairness do.
A Dynamic Approach
The Workers Union thrives because of its modern and adaptable outlook. We are designed for today’s working world, which requires responsiveness, flexibility, and accessibility. Our members know they can contact us whenever issues arise and receive the support they deserve without unnecessary delays.
We understand that the workplace is constantly evolving. Our role is to ensure that workers feel supported, not just with words, but with real actions delivered quickly and effectively.
Are The Workers Union The Cheapest Union In The UK?
While “cheapest” may not be the label we seek, The Workers Union is undoubtedly one of the most cost-effective options available to UK workers. Our annual membership of £101 offers outstanding value compared to some traditional unions that charge two or three times as much.
However, our affordability does not come at the expense of quality. Every member receives the same professional assistance, guided by our Union 101 principle of equality. We don’t believe in exclusivity or premium tiers—just fairness.
