Recommended Union that takes scientists?

[Sunset54]

Hi All,

This year has been pretty eventful and eye opening due to bullying at work leading me to leave my very much loved role to start again somewhere else.

I’m a scientist and I’m looking for recommendations for a good union. It doesn’t have to be science sector- specific- just a good one that would take scientists.

I’ve dealt with events this year but not without my confidence being chipped away. I want to make the new start knowing I have support in case anything goes wrong.

Prospect, Unite, GMB, or UCU.

I think it depends on your exact job role which union would be the most relevant to you. It can also depend on which union(s) your workplace recognises if any.

I'm a scientist and currently a member of Unite.

Unite - look at its history - it represents scientists and technical staff.

Thanks both! Has anyone experience of any of this and can recommend them?
