@GMBLondonRegion school members work the same number of days in a year as teachers. But unlike teachers, they are on term time only contracts & do not get paid for 8 wks a year 😡 It's time to end the unfairness of TTO & end Teaching Assistants being on the Low Paid Occupation list #NoToTTO #PayAllYear #MembersFirst

Today marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week 2024.   GMB’s new model Pregnancy Loss Charter calls on employers to provide at least one month’s paid leave to workers who lose an early pregnancy 🤰

“We can’t change history. But what we can do is learn from it”. Mark Tilley, Ambulance Technician and GMB representative, gave evidence to the @covidinquiryuk today.

Today marks the beginning of #BlackHistoryMonth! ✊ As a trade union, we honour the contributions of black workers who have fought for justice and equality throughout the labour movement. Their resilience has shaped the workplace rights we stand for today. 👏 Together, through initiatives such as our GRASP project, we continue the fight for fairness, dignity, and equal opportunity for all. 🙌 #UnionStrong 💪 #blackhistorymonth2024 🔴💛🟩

@GMBLondonRegion @Schoolsgmblon campaigning for a fairer deal for School support staff #MembersFirst #SayNoToTTO

School staff lose £4,000 a year thanks to term time only deals #saynototto gmb.org.uk/news/school-st…

@GMBMidlands Great product!

SolidariTEA from all of us at @GMBMidlands 🤝

We will repeal the 2016 Trade Union Act. Get rid of Minimum Service Level legislation. End - the cheap and vindictive attacks on this movement. And turn the page on politics as noisy performance – once and for all. - @Keir_Starmer to #TUC24

Great to see @GMBLondonRegion organisers out campaigning with our members in East of England Ambulance service today #MembersFirst

Huge congratulations to Martina Vrajitoru, GMB representative at Hinkley Point C and winner of the #TUC2024 Health & Safety Award. 👏 Martina’s campaigns have secured women-specific PPE and equipment, making work better and safer at HPC. Find out more: youtu.be/YJLjKvTO3lg?si…

Great to see #TUC24 get behind our campaign as more than 60,000 Asda workers take their case to the Employment Tribunal today. Asda workers are making history. The result of this hearing will call time on the retailers undervaluing their predominantly women shop floor workers. #MakeWorkBetter

Today, I want to put Amazon, and every other anti-union, anti-worker boss on notice. Our movement is coming for you.   We’re going to take on the bad bosses.   And we are going to win! @Nowak_Paul to #TUC24

Brilliant speech by GMB’s James Wilton from Leeds at this year’s #TUC2024, speaking on behalf of school support staff and sharing his experiences of working with children with special educational needs and disabilities. #MakeWorkBetter

A message for Asda, and for any employer that undervalues GMB women and “pockets the difference”… …time’s up. ⌛️ #TUC2024

The message is quite clear ⁦@asda⁩ ! Equal pay now ! ⁦@GMB_union_NWI⁩ ⁦@deniseNWI⁩ ⁦@GMBGarySmith⁩ ⁦@bplantgmb⁩ ⁦@TUCNorthWest⁩

The government has now officially CONFIRMED in writing that Minimum Service Levels for industrial action will be repealed, and encouraged employers to stop using them. This is another big step to strengthen the rights of working people 🙌🌹 questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statem…

The message from #TUC2024 could not be clearer. 📢 Thank you @nowak_paul for standing with our members and demanding Asda equal pay without delay.
