GMB Rule Book
GMB is governed by its Rule Book and every member of GMB is
bound by the rules set out in the book.
GMB rules are made by GMB members and determine the structure,
democracy and constitution of the union. The Rule Book also details
arrangements for GMB's Full Time Officials, Regions, Finance,
Branches and contributions and benefits.
Every second GMB Congress has the status of a 'rule
amendment Congress' which means that ordinary GMB members can seek
to change the union's rules via amendments submitted through their
Branches. In intervening years the unions Governing body - the
Central Executive Council - can propose rule amendments which are
voted on by GMB members at GMB Congress.
The GMB Rule Book covers every aspect of the work of GMB and how
its lay democracy works. If you are a GMB member and would like a
