Making a Difference For Members Through Politics
GMB works to make sure governments and politicians of all parties hear the voices of GMB members.
Our laws decide everything from how much things cost, to how our schools and NHS are funded and what protections we have in the workplace.
In the workplace too: pay, pensions, working hours, protection from unfair dismissal, discrimination and even our ability to represent people at work are just some of the issues politicians have a say over.
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.
We also work to help members understand how politics influences our workplaces and our lives, and in turn provide training and development so members can influence politics where they are to deliver positive change for members, their families and their communities.
