THANK YOU to all GMB members who took the time to complete our recent survey following on from last year’s pay campaign.
The message was loud and clear!
98% of GMB members thought that the pay award was too low.
We have received the independent scrutineer’s report following the ballot of GMB Paramedic members that closed 17th January 2019.

Paramedic Ballot
At our Branch Meeting in December the members gave us a mandate to continue with our action for the legacy Paramedics.
GMB dispute at Cammell Lairds, Birkenhead. As you may be aware, the Company is currently looking at making nearly 300 employees redundant. I am sure I do not need to tell you that these are skilled jobs desperately needed in an increasing economy of precarious employment. Throughout the consultation period, the GMB have pressed the company on their justification for this proposal as we firmly believe this is a cynical way to bring in a further casualisation of terms & conditions.
Paramedics are being stabbed, throttled, and sexually assaulted as shameful new figures show assaults on crew members have risen by one THIRD.
£25,000 cash benefit on first diagnosis of a covered female cancer or carcinoma in situ of the breast (an early stage cancer which hasn’t spread).
£2,500 cash benefit on first diagnosis of carcinoma in situ in any covered female organs other than the breast.
The other unions have written a joint response stating that they will now review their options. The GMB held a branch meeting on the day we found out the outcome and yes we were notified by way of the global email that was sent out to staff.
