FDA in the FCA
A stronger collective voice in the FCA and PSR
The FDA is an independent, member-led union. We are politically neutral and spend all our resources on representing our members’ interests, giving them a strong, pragmatic voice in the workplace.
The FDA gives its FCA and PSR members a collective voice and a vote on workplace issues through its Staff Consultative Committee seat.
We are seeking to build FDA union membership in Edinburgh, Leeds and Stratford, with a strong presence in each office.
Member benefits include:
- One-to-one employment advice and representation for workplace issues
- Access to legal advice during disputes with your employer
- High quality career development support and training through FDA Learn
- A range of discounts from insurance to gym memberships to days out
