Welcome to the ISU

How joining the ISU can help YOU


1. JOIN US

Joining a union is like an insurance policy. If bad times come, we can only help if you are already a member. Better to be protected.
2. EQUALITY

We believe that everyone should be treated fairly and with respect in the modern workplace. We fight to make sure all voices are heard.
3. WINNING

We have an excellent track record in personal representation – We win for our members day in, day out.
4. SAFETY

We have dedicated members of our NEC who advise on Health and Safety matters and put your welfare first.
5. BALANCE

You have a right to a good work / life balance, work should not take over. We can help get things back on track.
We offer a range of membership benefits such as payments when your shift allowance is ceased, discounted legal services and much more!

ISU Diary

If you are an ISU member and wish to continue receiving the annual ISU pocket diary, you must confirm with HQ that you continue to wish to do so. If we do not receive confirmation from you, you will no longer receive the annual pocket diary.

If you need to change your address for the annual ISU diary please contact HQ by email or on 01255 553039 to update your records.

If your diary is lost, stolen or damaged, there is a £4.00 charge to cover the cost of the diary and postage. Postage overseas may be higher. Please contact HQ for more information.
ISU Circulars & Updates

We regularly keep members up to date with the ISU and news from the department with membership circulars and updates. You can find the latest updates here - you must be logged in to view this content.
ISU Life Membership

The ISU offers a lifetime membership for members who have retired or are leaving the service. For a one-off fee of £50, this entitles you to all non-work related benefits of the ISU, membership circulars and updates, access to the members area on the ISU website for exclusive content, membership benefits, discounted services with our solicitors, the annual ISU diary and assistance with any Home Office pension queries.
