Workers of different backgrounds face different and unfair challenges in the workplace - from unequal pay to bullying and harrassment. That's why GMB members organise around equality.
Each of our branches has a position for a Branch Equality Officer. These activists - ordinary GMB members like you - help advise workers on equality issues and help them organise in their workplace on what is most important to them.
GMB's Regional Equality Officers are staff members who support regional self-organised groups to campaign on what matters to them at work.

Women make up over 50% of GMB members. GMB activists campaign and fight for better rights, pay and conditions for all women at work.
