Hear our members' stories

"I joined GMB because I wanted fair pay"

Me and my colleagues demanded a pay increase and won, an experience I found empowering.

"GMB helps me invest in my future"

I'm really happy my union is campaigning for decent apprenticeships for young people

"If I wasn't in GMB, I wouldn't have got my job back"

My work colleagues were also GMB members and prepared to go on strike unless I was reinstated, which made my employer think again.

"Our members have a voice at work"

I love ensuring that GMB members have a voice at work and standing up to unfairness when I see it.
