Young Members
Young workers are in many cases exploited or treated
badly.
Whether it is your first job or you're struggling to make ends
meet while a student, like many young people you could be unaware
of your workplace rights and there are plenty of managers who will
take advantage of this. As a GMB member you can ensure you
have a 610,000 strong Union to back you up to
get respect in the workplace.
GMB has a young member's section. The group deals with issues
and concerns of those aged 16 to 27. Around 5% of
the 610,000 GMB members are under 27 years of age and
classified as young members. As well as dealing with work related
issues GMB also run a social side sending group to work
at festivals like Glastonbury and much more.
If you are interested or know any GMB member who might be, then
call your local
Young Members Officer.
