How can I get active around around BAME workers issues in GMB?
Join GMB Race! GMB Race is our self-organised group (SOG) made up of Black, Asian and minority Ethnic workers from every type of workplace.
The aim of GMB Race is to ensure that race is always on the agenda: organising, recruiting and promoting equality at work and in society for all who identify as BAME.
We oppose all forms of prejudice and discrimination, acting as a contact and support for all GMB BAME members and developing training and events. It is free to join as a GMB member and the SOG aims to create a safe space to discuss and tackle issues around racial equality, wherever you work.
We've run regional GMB Race Summits, campaigns standing against hate crime, Black lives matters meetings, briefings on how to report racism in the workplace and stood in solidarity with refugees by taking aid and branch donations to Calais.
