Calling all Asda members

GMB is holding a demonstration outside Asda House in Leeds on Wednesday 14th August

We are holding train tickets from Liverpool and Manchester on a first come first served basis. If you want to attend and are available on that day please apply below with your name, store, membership number and which station you would wish to travel from

The GMB union has been in consultation with ASDA since 2017, over the new contract 6 the company wants to put in place for all colleagues. In that time over 64 000 colleagues have not signed to the new contract, a clear indication that colleagues are not happy with the new terms.

ASDA is not listening to our concerns and pushing ahead with their own agenda, which is causing some upset in stores. We have to take a stand to protect our members at ASDA.

Our campaign is working. After nearly 9,000 Asda colleagues told us what they think of the recent Contract 6 proposals, and after sending a clear message with a mass demonstration outside Asda HQ, the company is having to do some serious thinking.

Your feedback was clear: you're not prepared to accept the contract proposals in their current form. And so the GMB national negotiating team have challenged all aspects of the contract proposals in discussions with ASDA management.
