Pros

Helping vulnerable people against unscrupulous employers, rewarding in getting someone a good deal, organising and educating working class people of their rights, building up legal knowledge, applying legal principles and giving legal advice while indemnified by the GMB union, free training, increase of skills base, travel and subsistence expenses. Volunteering for a union is ideal for someone interested in pursuing a legal career or a career as a full-time official in the labour movement.

Cons

It can be emotionally-demanding given the nature of the some the cases. It is voluntary which means you need free time in order to do it.
