FREE CWU MEMBERSHIP

 

 

Did you know that if you enter into less than full pay on your contracted hours i.e. when you have been off sick for 6 months or on extended maternity leave, you are entitled to FREE CWU membership? This covers members on long term sick and/or maternity leave.

 

If you think you are entitled to FREE CWU membership due to the reasons stated above, but are currently paying membership subscriptions please contact the Branch Secretary at branch.secretary@cwue5.org or telephone 01733 382512 who will make necessary arrangements to rectify this.

 

Please note that in instances where membership subscriptions have been paid whilst on long term sick or maternity absence this cannot be refunded.
