GMB union success at shipyard Harland and Wolff

The inspirational example of the Harland & Wolff workers who on this day last year occupied their shipyard to defend jobs and secure a future for their industry is something all workers should look towards at this time.

WATCH US CLAPPING BUT NO PAY RISE FOR MANY OF THE HEROES

GMB union politics Carer pay

Poverty kills. It destroys people, physically and mentally, causing depression among ordinary folk just trying to live a decent life.

GMB union regional political officer, Neil Smith, says it is disgraceful that the government can ''watch us clapping, but no pay rise for many of our heroes''.

FOOD POVERTY AND TORY INADEQUACY

GMB union politics fighting food poverty

NHS trusts are reporting that around 2500 children in England have been through that trauma

Food poverty is a Tory inadequacy

There are questions flying about how the country is going to afford paying the bills triggered by the onset of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Furlough costs, spending on support for the NHS and care services and more.
But people seem to forget, we are a rich country. We are not a poor, third world country. The government can access funds through borrowing and diverting spending to meet the imminent needs of our struggling industries and services, if they choose.

LGBT+ EQUALITY INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY IN SPORTS Q&A FOR UNION MEMBERS

Union Equality in sport

During the Covid-19 lockdown our founder Lindsay England (GMB N&I equality rep) took part in a Q&A for The Football Collective.

FBC Session: Chris Gibbons, Lindsay England and Rory Magrath

LGBT+ equality inclusion & diversity in sports Q&A.

How do we make our sports teams and clubs more inclusive and welcoming?

Pride is a time for protest, education, advocating and celebrating for LGBT+ peoples lives and history. We would love more trade union members and fellow co-workers to be involved in local and national pride events as allies.
