Security Industry Federation Trade Union Membership

SIF trade union membership should be seen as an insurance policy and not something to dip in and out of. Continuous membership enables us to help you straight away as we are unable to take on pre-existing issues.

As the only certified UK security trade union, we know how to protect your rights in the workplace. The Security Industry Federation ensures that you have the correct representation in your workplace, as well as campaigning for change with security employers, regulators and Government.

The Benefits & Limitations of Support

Full Transparency

While our primary focus is addressing workplace concerns that arise after joining, we strive to offer guidance to new members with pre-existing issues. However, representation at hearings for pre-existing matters cannot be provided without an additional fee. We aim to communicate this policy clearly, ensuring transparency about the limitations of our support. The additional fee may be necessary due to the complexity or time-intensive nature of handling pre-existing issues. It is crucial to inform new members about alternative options for obtaining representation, either through external services or legal counsel, to manage expectations and foster a positive relationship.

Membership only £14.99 a month
