GMB has a political fund. This fund is used for activities connected with political objects as defined by section 72 of the above Act. All spending on these activities comes from this separate political fund.
Every member has the right not to contribute to the union’s political fund. To exercise this right, you must give the union an opt-out notice.
You can give an opt-out notice in any of these ways:
- Deliver it in person, by post, or through a person you have asked to deliver it on your behalf
- Send it by email to: politics@gmb.org.uk
- Complete an electronic form provided by the union and submit it online following the union’s instructions.
A form of opt-out notice can also be obtained:
- From the union, by email: politics@gmb.org.uk
- From the Certification Officer by emailing info@certoffice.org
If you later change your mind, you can give a withdrawal notice to cancel your opt-out. This will put you back into contributing to the political fund.
