Based on a survey of UNISON members, this article examines the reasons underpinning membership retention in the public sector. It shows that collective reasons are central to retention and that packages of financial services have little impact on retention. An article to be published in the next issue of this journal develops the themes raised here by reference to a survey of union leavers.
