Prospect: Never a better time to join

The world of work is changing. When we stand together in a union, we can improve job security, pay, and conditions, and thrive together.

In these challenging and uncertain times, union membership is vital for everyone at work. We are now based at Birchwood Park, where we already successfully support many people across a range of workplaces. Come and see us in the EngineRooms Tuesday 8th November for more information and free goodies (and cake!).

What can Prospect do for me?

Most people know that a union will support them if they run into difficulties at work. But union membership offers so much more.

Collective voice

Standing together with colleagues results in more favourable outcomes for workers. On average, union members enjoy higher pay than non-members, better sickness and pension benefits, more paid holiday, and the right to more flexible working hours.

We have a wealth of experience in equalities and have successfully negotiated improvements in many workplace for our members.

As well as all that, we offer a range of discounts and services to our members including free legal advice, financial advice, career development support and access to our reward scheme.

Who are Prospect members?

We are nuclear scientists, renewable energy generators, archaeologists, energy generators, windfarm operators, tech workers, public servants, consultants, freelancers, environment professionals, engineers, and so many more.

Working in the Nuclear or Energy Sector?

We are the largest union in the nuclear sector and can offer expert support and advice tailored to issues that affect you.

Prospect represents the interests of over 22,000 members working across all parts of the energy sector. Our members are engineers, managers and specialists employed in energy generation, transmission and distribution companies across the UK.
