GMB Union Public Services Workers

This Government are tone deaf to the voices of our members. The support & understanding from the public was overwhelming & proof that they’ve got this wrong! Our members are taking a stand, not just on pay but on the future of our NHS. Their message is clear #TalkPayNow

During the pandemic, GMB care workers told us they either had to lose pay or go to work sick due to a lack of proper sick pay. Care workers deserve better than SSP, and so do the service users who depend on them. Solidarity to carers campaigning for better. ✊ #SickofSSP

@dixierach speaking to HC One members at Ascot Lodge today about why they deserve sick pay! Staff queuing up to sign the petition. #sickofssp #sickpaynow

"being off work sick meant I had to swap it for annual leave" "sick pay means that when we're sick we don't infect our residents, it's not that hard to understand" HC-One it's time to pay your staff sick pay! #SickOfSSP @GMB_union_NWI

Spirits are high at Snapethorpe Gate - Wakefield HCOne who support the launch of the sick pay campaign across HC one and say they deserve full sick pay. They absolutely do. Please support the campaign #sickofssp #sickpaynow

Just spoken to a HC-One worker who has broken their arm in 2 places but had to come back to work 2 weeks early because of sick pay not being affordable “I’m on light duties, I’m still in pain but - I had no other choice” #SickofSSP

Our members within HC One are #SickOfSSP and are demanding #SickPayNow. We’ve been out and about talking to our members today and getting petition signatures. HC One need to listen to their staff and implement proper sick pay now for the sake of their staff & their service users

GMB members at Silverwood getting behind the HC One Sick Pay Campaign. #sickofssp #sickpaynow

In HC One in Pontefract now and workers are demanding full sick pay. It’s appalling that carers only get statutory sick pay when ill pushing those doing the most important jobs in the country to further poverty pay. Pls support our campaign #sickofssp #sickpaynow

Today @GMBCampaigns is in care homes across the country and nations speaking with HC One workers about working life as an essential key worker. It’s appalling that these workers only get statutory sick pay when ill #sickofssp #sickpaynow

#SickofSSP campaign is a campaign for healthy carehomes. @HC_One the country's largest care provider, don't pay their staff sick pay and it's staff and residents which pay for it. Show your support and sign their petition for #SickPayNow megaphone.org.uk/p/sickofssp

Happy birthday to our NHS 🥳 For 75 years it has looked after us all - and its staff do lifesaving work every day 👏

Blaby District Council told refuse workers to use foodbanks if their wages were too low. Now they’re on strike day 2 to win the pay and conditions they deserve. They won’t let Blaby become Leicestershire’s low pay capital. @MartinAllenGMB from the picket line last week ⬇️

As the day draws to a close, our region has thoroughly enjoyed celebrating 75 years of our #NHS! 🏥 Below are several statements and images from our affiliated #Labour 🌹 councillors, who joined us in commemorating this historic occasion.

Breaking 🚨@UKLabour run Birmingham City Council admits equal pay failure as 1000s of @GMB_union women members sue their employer AGAIN. See below shameful email from Chief Exec that threatens services to pay for her Council’s discrimination of women workers. Shameful

Despite the weather, dozens of members came out on strike this morning from the Housing and Homelessness department of Croydon Council. Here’s our @baylis_rachael leading the picket line. Maybe management at @yourcroydon might want to talk to us about the restructure now?

Over a hundred years ago these brave women fought a 10 week strike for a minimum wage We owe them ✊ GMB are proud to support ✊@GMBMidlands @Sarah_atGMB
