UCU

Members of the UCU receive free personal injury advice and representation, employment law support and a range of other legal services as part of their union package.

We have a track record of success in securing hundreds of thousands of pounds in compensation for injured or mistreated higher education professionals and are ready to support you and your family.

In personal injury claims, we guarantee UCU members will keep 100% of any compensation with no deduction in legal fees – something no non-union solicitor can offer.

I decided to get in touch with the UCU as I was worried and wanted to make sure no-one else suffered an accident like mine.

UCU member

Excellent and well-presented service by Thompsons Solicitors. Every and each step was well explained and quickly delivered.

Trade union member

Without my trade union membership I wouldn’t have known where to turn, so I would recommend everyone join a trade union to ensure they have access to the same level of support that I did if they ever need it.
