Legal Services

Union Members have access to legal services as provided for in the ATCU Rule Book.

Representing you

ATCU is proud to say that we have Regional Organisers who are experienced in the representation of members at disciplinary and grievance cases.

They have and are representing members within a number of Train Operating Companies who, under law, have a legal duty to allow ATCU members to be accompanied and be represented by the ATCU Regional Organiser or any ATCU representative. All dealings within disciplinary and grievances are equal to that of any other trade union.

ATCU cares about its members and anyone who allows its Regional Officer to represent them will have the knowledge that we as a union will not let them down. If fact, our expertise in representation at disciplinary and grievances have actually been utilised by other, at no cost to the members, groups and unions.
