The NHS is one of our Nation's greatest institutions and it's the heroes who work for it that make it so.
GMB continues to campaign for better pay and rights at work for all of our NHS heroes
Support this campaign and keep up to date:
It took a generation of fighters to build our National Health Service. And, since its birth, GMB and our members have fought tirelessly to safeguard it. From calling for better pay and rights at work to protesting against privatisation.
Today, we continue our fight for our members in the NHS and for everyone who needs it. Campaigning against cuts to pay, staff numbers or services.
We GMB stand strong with the heroes in our NHS and across the public sector because we know strong public services are key to Britain’s future.
In 2018, GMB members across the NHS and ambulance service overwhelmingly voted to reject Jeremy Hunt's pay offer. After a nearly a decade of pay pinching, the prospect of a further three years of cuts to wages was just unacceptable.
We at GMB sent a clear message to Jeremy Hunt, the then Health Secretary – it’s a no from us.
The idea of attacking one of our emergency service workers as they do their duty saving lives is particularly abhorrent. But research from GMB revealed the extent of danger facing these public sector heroes – so we began our push for new legislation to Protect the Protectors.
As a result of the success of this campaign, emergency services staff are one step closer to the protection they need on the job.
The legislation, that recieved royal assent in September 2018, brought into law new measures to protect staff - including punishments for those who carry out sexual attacks on emergency workers.
We are now continuing our campaign on Government to ensure proper enforcement action to make sure that those who attack emergency workers are brought to justice.
