Reasons graduates and apprentices working in the transport sector should join TSSA

Reasons graduates and apprentices working in the transport sector should join TSSA

Why graduates and apprentices should join TSSA

It’s a good offer

TSSA knows you’re on lower wages while you’re training, and you might be new to the transport sector so we don’t want you to be out of pocket during this time. We offer a discounted rate for graduates and apprentices for 52p/month you can get the benefits of being a TSSA member and know we’ll support you should anything happen while on your placements.

More members, more benefits

We want to build power for you in your workplaces (and outside). Evidence shows that where employees organise together they get paid higher wages, have more stable, safer and fairer terms and conditions. That’s because we negotiate agreements and policies to represent members collectively behind the scenes. The more of your colleagues that join the union the stronger we are.

We’ve got your back

We hope nothing goes wrong, that you have well managed placements, your course fits well with your day job and that you get the support and direction you need to pass through your training. Many graduates and apprentices have a great experience but we’re there in the background in case things go wrong. Maybe if nothing goes wrong for you it’s because we fixed it before it became a problem? We have a Helpdesk run by legally trained staff to call and a network of reps all over the workplaces with specific knowledge about your employer.

Run for you, by you

Unions are democratic and have grassroots structures that you can get involved in. You can find out what the TSSA reps at your company are working on and nationally, TSSA has member equality groups to give voices to under-represented groups at work. Don’t hesitate to get involved.
