The Government want to talk pay and it’s thanks GMB union members

GMB union Regional organiser, Marie Saunderson, said ‘’It is down to the collective organisation and strength in our membership, that the government have got the message. We are serious, with a large percentage of the union membership in agreement and prepared to fight for fair terms of employment. They tried, but can’t ignore the collective strength of a unionised workforce.’’

DAY FIVE OF INDUSTRIAL ACTION FOR GMB UNION MEMBERS AT NORTH WEST AMBULANCE SERVICE

As we enter into what is our fifth day of action the support of all members and the public remains resolute.

The UK government are still not listening despite improved offer in both Wales and Scotland.

They instead are forcing through legislation to make it illegal for us to take action as an emergency service.

REMOVE UNFAIR STAFF PARKING CHARGES AT NHS TRUST SAY GMB UNION

GMB trade union call on North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Trust to remove unfair staff car parking charges. We believe that it's unfair that staff should pay to park at work. We also believe that it's unfair that substantial profit is made from these charges, and we can evidence this is the case as we have submitted a freedom of information request to the Trust and have been provided with the data.

GMB AMBULANCE BRANCH – PROVIDING DRINKS AND FOOD TO AMBULANCE WORKERS IN LANCASHIRE

Tony Dunn GMB Super Member

After realising his busy co-worker members would welcome much needed refreshments, and maybe someone to listen to and take forward their concerns, GMB Convenor Tony Dunn (GMB NW Ambulance Service Branch) took the initiative to load up a van with hot and cold drinks and some sandwiches and snacks, to give our heroic front-line ambulance workers some sustenance as well as a little down-time (albeit very short) ….So a big clap for Tony and the GMB NWAS Branch!

You are a GMB Super Member Tony, We Salute You.

supply members with plastic face visors

Paul Turner, GMB Deputy Branch Secretary for North West Ambulance Branch, wasn’t going to let his members go without proper protection during the Covid-19 pandemic – he began sourcing local businesses to help supply front-line ambulance workers with plastic face visors as they battle the virus along with other NHS colleagues to keep us safe.

As we are all learning from the local and national news reports, more NHS and Care workers are themselves becoming infected by the deadly Covid-19 virus…..Great work Paul, the members and the GMB are very proud of you!
