Changes to Number 8 Workers’ Union Membership Fees

FOR NEW MEMBERS ONLY – from 18th Nov 2024

 

Dear Prospective Members,

Due to unprecedented demand for the advocacy services provided by the Number 8 Workers’ Union (N8), we now require two years’ membership fees to be paid in advance. 

This change applies to all NEW members from 18th November 2024 who need our help with an employment problem. 

Examples of (but not limited to) an employment problem are:

• Raising a person grievance
• Breach of contract
• Employment contract disputes
• Mediations and workplace meetings relating to problems
• Advocacy at Tribunals such as Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal 

This upfront payment allows N8 to continue offering the high-quality, targeted advocacy services we are known for.

At N8, our members are always our top priority. We put in the hard yards to achieve the best possible outcomes for our members.

Over the past two years, N8 has achieved remarkable success, with a great many settlements and good wins in the ERA and Employment Court for our members.

It’s hard work, but we will never give up. Instead, we continue to gain strength while the storm around us continues unabated. 

Unlike other unions, we don’t indulge in membership fee funded hybrid cars, holiday homes or commercial properties, expensive training courses or seminars. Instead, fees are invested directly into member support and advocacy. 

How does the cost of Number 8 WUNZ compare to the service of an employment lawyer?

Quotes range from $5,000 – to $25,000 upwards. At $500 per hour it does not take long to add up. The cost of paying a lawyer to go to the ERA is around $20k.

Two-Year Membership Upfront Fee

• Unwaged: $312
• Waged: $624

Please Note:

• It is your responsibility to promptly notify us of any changes to your employment status.

 

Thank you for considering membership with N8. 

 

Kind regards,

The Number 8 Workers’ Union Team
