The union for care workers

Home

GMB is your union in social care: for all job roles and in all employers.

We campaign for pay justice by demanding improvements in pay and terms for the social care workforce, professional recognition, mental health support, and safer staffing levels.

GMB demands safer workplaces. We protect you, our members while you protect others.
