When you retire you should
still stay active. UNISON believes that many members, when they retire, want
to go on benefiting from union membership.
At the moment we are
actively pursuing to develop the retired members section of the LAS for ex
Unison, COHSE, NUPE, and NALGO members. We have regular meetings which at
present are held at the Union Jack Club, where you can come along and meet
old colleagues and make some new friends. Our aim is to have social
functions, days out, Christmas meals etc. Members receive regular copies of
Unison’s Greater London Retired Members Regional Newsletters and also
Unison’s Pension News Bulletin.
Both are very informative.
Even though you have
retired, Unison still values and needs you and as a retired member you will
be able to use almost all the services available to working members. There
are lots of exclusive benefits for you to enjoy as a retired member as well
as the usual bonuses that come from belonging to a Trade Union.

These include:
Unison Welfare
Unison Legal Services
Croyde Bay Holiday Village
Unison Travel
Huge savings on insurance needs
Special discounts and offers on a wide
range of financial and other services
Confidential help and advice and
convalescent facilities
Plus many more services

If we can develop a strong
and active section, we can use our voice to join Unison’s campaign for a
social contract for pensioners which includes better pensions and benefits.
If you were a member of any
of the above and had been for two years or more and are retired, whether age
retirement or medically retired, the Retired Members Section would like to
hear from you.

form, write to Michael Apps, 34 Glanvill Way, Honiton, Devon, EX14 2GE.

Remember; Unison
membership doesn't have to stop just because you have retired.
If you've been a UNISON member for at least two years on the day you
retire and have either received state pension age or get a pension,
you can become a retired member.
Retired membership costs just £15 for life, but Las UNISON members
pay nothing as the fee is met by the branch.
The Las branch also now offers a retirement grant to all members who
have been a member of UNISON / NUPE / COHSE / NALGO for at least 15
years to help towards their retirement function, up to a maximum of
£350.00.
For more information contact your local representative or anyone on
the branch. |
