GMB Politics
At GMB we know how politics affects everyday life for members, politics is decisions made on how much your bills are going to be each month, the kind of education your kids will get to or the NHS or social care you receive.
So in order to stand up for members in the workplace, we need not just an industrial voice but a political one as well. That’s why GMB works to make our members’ voices heard at all levels of political decision-making.
Making a Difference For Members Through Politics
GMB works to make sure governments and politicians of all parties hear the voices of GMB members.
