As a member of Pro, you also get free legal counselling by phone on private matters.
Our specialists and lawyers make sure that the terms of your work are fair
They provide advise and solve disagreements at the workplace with the employer. They also negotiate collective agreements with employer's representatives and, at the last instance, defend you in court.
The legal costs of employment-related disputes can easily rise up to tens of thousands of Euros. For our members, Pro's legal aid is free of financial risks.
We compensate the cost of legal proceedings for our members without excess and limit even though they would amount tens of thousands of Euros and the legal proceeding would continue in higher instances. The legal aid includes legal counselling, settlement negotiations and litigation. The decision on bringing a matter to court is made by Trade Union Pro's Head of Legal Affairs. Legal aid requires that membership in Pro has been in force for at least three months prior to the incident the legal aid is applied for and that Pro's membership fees have been paid according to Trade Union Pro's rules. Litigation in court requires that the member's complaint is based on law or agreements and that the information member has provided indicates that they have most probably not been treated according to the law and agreements.
