GMB and CWU unions launch law firm in Sheffield to help a million workers

'We will provide a comprehensive legal service without personal injury award deductions,' says GMB leader Paul Kenny

General union GMB and the Communication Workers’ Union (CWU) have joined forces to launch a union-owned law firm to provide legal help to almost 1 million workers.

The firm will be based in Sheffield in South Yorkshire.

CWU general secretary Billy Hayes said: “We want to make sure our members get the very best legal advice and by creating and operating our own legal services we can ensure that.

“This is the first legal service of its kind.

“With legal assistance being such an integral part of the benefits offered to trade union members this is a truly exciting innovation of which we are immensely proud.”

GMB general secretary Paul Kenny said: “We look forward to providing a one-stop shop for members which will provide a comprehensive legal service and unlike the high street there will not be deductions from their personal injury awards.”
