I reckon that I get pretty good value for my tenner a month.
Have you priced legal insurances ?

I didn't get as far as pricing them, because all the ones I looked at
didn't offer what I want.

There's more to a union's legal services than getting an attack lawyer
when your relationship with your employer goes south. I have used them
to, for example, look over an employment contract, and to verify that my
changes to an employment contract before I accepted a job correctly
matched what I wanted and didn't leave any irritating loopholes.
