GMB members at @PanasonicUK have voted for strike action after the company pulled the plug on pay negotiations. Panasonic need to come back to the table with a pay offer that fairly rewards staff for their hard work and sacrifice over the last 2 years. gmb.org.uk/news/staff-wal…

The eyes of the world will be on Glasgow during #COP26. 🌎 Politicians now have a choice, will they fairly reward the frontline workers who got us through the pandemic, or will they risk embarrassing the city and the country in an international stage? gmb.org.uk/news/glasgow-f…

We support a Green New Deal, but it can’t be based on running down industries and making tens of thousands redundant. #Lab21 has taken a big step forward towards ensuring that climate justice and economic justice go hand in hand. gmb.org.uk/news/labour-co…

Ordinary people are going to pay the price in rising costs and fuel poverty, while these directors apparently get to walk away wealthy. This is what bandit capitalism looks like. gmb.org.uk/news/bosses-fa…

GMB members across the NHS have overwhelmingly rejected the pay offer. The result is no surprise – a 3% pay increase is an insult after 10 years of pay cuts. We now have no alternative as a union but to trigger industrial action ballots. gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-membe…

Ripping out existing boilers across 24 million homes across the UK is utterly absurd. It will lead to heating chaos for millions of people and general resentment towards the UK’s drive to net zero. gmb.org.uk/news/governmen…

With the end of the furlough scheme, we face an economic cliff-edge which risks killing the recovery before it even starts. Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak must act now or be remembered for casting thousands onto the scrapheap. gmb.org.uk/news/16-millio…

A 0% pay offer is a massive kick in the teeth for our members at G4S cash services. We now have no choice but to hold a ballot for industrial action. Our members know their worth. gmb.org.uk/news/g4s-strik…

Amazon’s UK business paid just £3.8m more corporation tax last year than in 2019, even as sales increased by £1.89bn. Ministers must get a grip of this runaway company and make sure pandemic profiteers pay more. gmb.org.uk/news/amazon-ta…

Any credible plan for the future of social care must give a proper pay rise to the people doing the work. That's how you start tackling the massive understaffing crisis. That's why GMB is campaigning for a £15 an hour social care minimum wage. gmb.org.uk/news/pitiful-s…

GMB members working for the Labour Party have voted in favour of strike action if compulsory redundancies go ahead. We hope party bosses will now sit up, take notice and talk with unions so we can avoid compulsory redundancies. gmb.org.uk/news/labour-pa…

The ground-breaking deal between GMB and Uber was the first step towards a fairer working life for millions of people. Today we take the next step in our commitment to ending the exploitation of hundreds of thousands of ride-hailing app drivers. gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-and-u…

BREAKING NEWS: GMB has signed an exclusive union recognition agreement with the Praxis Care. GMB is proud to be the voice of our members in Praxis. #PowerInAUnion ✊ gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-and-p…

GMB has tried for many months to settle this dispute. This is ridiculous behaviour and Yodel needs to see sense before it’s too late. gmb.org.uk/news/yodel-fac…

Workers who give their all to the Labour Party should not be made to pay the price for any reorganisation. We will ask members if they are willing to strike over this. If the answer is yes, we will not hesitate to move to a formal strike ballot. gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-ballo…

Nobody should face the sort of violence and abuse Asda workers have just for doing their job. Asda must act before more people are seriously hurt. gmb.org.uk/news/more-1250…

202 years ago 18 people were killed and hundreds injured as they protested for the representation of working people. The massacre at Peterloo sowed the seeds for universal suffrage and the trade union movement. Today we remember their courage and bravery.

Hydrogen is crucial to meeting our net zero targets and crucial for ensuring a proper transition for gas workers. We must ensure these jobs are on shored. gmb.org.uk/news/governmen…
