Your local branch

A local branch is a member's home base. Local branches work to improve the working conditions of their members. They also provide recreational activities.

Legal aid

Legal aid

As JHL’s member you can receive legal aid. However, this is a last resort when trying to resolve disputes at the workplace. Attempts should always first be made to resolve the issue through negotiation.

When you join JHL, you will also become a member of The Public and Welfare Sectors’ Unemployment Fund. You are entitled to earnings-related daily unemployment allowance, if you fulfil the work requirements.
