Our trade union representatives, organisers and senior organisers do a fantastic job supporting our members in the work place; helping negotiate collectively at the companies we are recognised with and individually in the work places we are not.
Why Join the GMB trade union?
The GMB North West & Irish region represents members at various workplaces in both the public and private sector, including the NHS and students in the region.
Workplaces with GMB union recognition are safer, with better Health & Safety at work than those without.
GMB union members are part of collective bargaining, with union recognised workplaces enjoying better pay and conditions than non unionised companies.
The GMB trade union offers individual help and support to members, including workplace representation.
Your GMB membership entitles you to Free Legal Services, for workplace issues and accidents that are not your faults outside of work (your family is covered for this too).
GMB workplaces are more inclusive for women, LGBT workers, black and minority ethnic workers, older workers and disabled workers.
All this for full time workers costs no more than 63p per day and even less for part time workers.
And by joining as a member your contribution helps the GMB trade union fight for workers rights and campaigns that affect our membership, their families and communities.
