Why all betting shop workers need a Trade Union

Community Trade Union is campaigning nationally to improve your working life. We represent staff in Ladbrokes, Gala Coral, William Hill, Betfred and many independents from Scotbet.com (formerly Morrisons) in Scotland to Coomes in the South East of England. 

We understand the industry and the changes that are currently taking place; from technological changes to the big bookies purchasing smaller, independent chains. Becoming a union member gives you a voice within the betting industry. Community Trade Union is the Union for all betting shop workers.

Work Your Proper Hours Day 2009

Work Your Proper Hours Day (27 Feb 2009) is the day when the average person who does unpaid overtime finishes the unpaid days they do every year, and starts earning for themselves. We think that's a day worth celebrating. 

Over five million people at work in the UK regularly do unpaid overtime, giving their employers £26.9 billion of free work every year. If you're one, why not take some time to reflect on how well (or badly) you're balancing your life?
 
This is one day in the year to make the most of your own time. Take a proper lunchbreak and leave work on time to enjoy your Friday evening - You deserve it!
 Long hours are not good for us; they cause stress; they're bad for our health; they wreck relationships; they make caring for children or dependents more difficult; and tired, burnt-out staff are bad for business.
