Solid trade union recruits and represents members based in the North West region of England.  We mainly focus our membership on workers who are directly employed and categorised as employees rather than those classed as self-employed/contractors.  The aim of the trade union is to build collective strength in order to improve members’ terms and conditions whilst constantly pursuing safer and more equitable working environments.

​

Although our preference is to pursue issues on a collective basis, we understand the importance of supporting our members on individual matters.  We offer comprehensive employment advice on matters such as equality, health and safety, contracts, redundancy, unfair dismissal, trade union rights etc.  We support members with individual representation at disciplinary and grievance hearings assisting with any preparation.  Legal assistance is offered on a discretionary basis and is dependent on the trade union assessment on the prospects of success.
