Advance Union is an independent trade union representing people working across the financial services sector. We are committed to giving employees a stronger collective voice, ensuring that their interests are represented and that they have access to the advice, guidance and support they need throughout their working lives.

We work to protect and promote the interests of our members, helping to ensure that employees are;  treated fairly, their concerns are heard and their rights are respected. Through engaging with employers, representing members and campaigning on the issues that matter most, we strive to make a positive difference in the workplace. Whether it’s improving pay and working conditions, supporting members through challenging situations or influencing workplace policies, we believe that everyone deserves to feel valued, supported and listened to.

At the heart of everything we do is our commitment to our members and the belief that, by working together, we can achieve more than we ever could alone.

Your opinions matter, and your voice deserves to be heard. At Advance Union, we believe every member should have the opportunity to share their views, raise concerns and contribute to the conversations that shape their working lives. We bring members together to ensure their experiences, ideas and priorities are listened to and represented, helping us build a clearer understanding of the issues that matter most to the people we represent.

Through regular communication, member feedback, surveys, consultations and engagement activities, we create opportunities for you to have your say and influence the work we do. Whether it’s concerns about pay, working conditions, workplace policies, employee wellbeing or changes within your organisation, we want to understand your experiences and make sure the issues affecting you are not overlooked.

By working collectively, we can raise important workplace issues, challenge unfair practices and campaign for positive change. The strength of a trade union comes from its members, and the more we listen, share experiences and stand together, the stronger our collective voice becomes.

Your views help shape our priorities, influence the conversations we have with employers and drive the positive changes that make a difference to working lives.

We believe every employee deserves to be recognised, valued and rewarded fairly for the work they do. Everyone should have the opportunity to work in an environment where their contribution is appreciated, their rights are respected and they are treated with fairness and dignity. At Advance Union, we work hard to promote fair pay, reasonable working conditions, equality of opportunity and workplace policies that support a positive, inclusive and respectful working environment.

We believe that fair treatment should be at the heart of every workplace, regardless of an individual’s role, background or experience. Through representing our members, raising important workplace issues and engaging with employers, we aim to influence positive improvements that benefit everyone. From ensuring pay and reward are fair and transparent to promoting wellbeing, inclusion, work-life balance and equal opportunities for career development, we want to help create workplaces where employees feel supported, motivated and able to thrive.

From workplace disputes and disciplinary matters to concerns about how you’re being treated, changes to your working arrangements or difficulties with management, having access to experienced union support can make a real difference. Workplace issues can sometimes feel complicated, stressful and difficult to manage, particularly when you’re unsure of your rights, where you stand or what steps you should take next.

At Advance Union, we believe no member should feel they have to face these situations on their own. We can provide advice, guidance and support to help you understand your options, approach difficult conversations and feel more confident when dealing with workplace challenges. Where appropriate and subject to membership terms, we can also provide representation to help ensure your concerns are heard and that you are treated fairly throughout the process.

Having someone in your corner who understands workplace issues and can help you navigate the process can provide valuable reassurance when you need it most. Whatever the challenge, you don’t have to navigate difficult workplace situations alone – Advance Union is here to support you.

Because working life is better when you have someone in your corner.
