GMB Politics

The laws that govern pay, pensions, job security and equality at work are not accidental - they are shaped by political choices. So alongside building industrial strength in the workplace, we organise to shape those choices.

Our political work connects the shop floor to Parliament, local councils and devolved governments. It ensures members’ experiences inform legislation, and that governments are held accountable for delivering for working people.

We also invest in developing members as political leaders - providing training, support and opportunities to influence decisions in their communities. Because lasting change happens when working people are organised not only at work, but in public life too.
