It is with regret that we have to inform you of the tragic passing of former Regional Secretary, Bill Smith.
Bill was the Regional Secretary from 1995-1998, but had been a Regional Organiser for many years previously.
Today our GMB Northern Ireland public sector members took to the picket lines over an ongoing pay and grading dispute, as well as dignity and respect at work.
The cost-of-living crisis is worse in Northern Ireland than anywhere else in the United Kingdom. Instead of the Tory government using our members as pawns in a political game, it is about time they acknowledge that they are worth more!

Since his tragic murder in 1987, members of Daniel Morgan’s family – notably his brother Alastair – have been campaigning for justice for the last 35 years. Earlier this week, at least seventy documents, comprised of ninety-five pages, which should have been given to the official policing inspectorate, as part of the inquiry into Daniel’s murder, were found inside a locked cabinet inside the Metropolitan Police’s HQ in Scotland Yard.
In the lead up to Mental Health Awareness week the GMB union Education team organised series of campaigning events.
Brilliant day of campaigning on International Workers Memorial Day in Manchester’s Lincoln Square. Local singer-songwriter Clare Mooney opened and closed the rally with her “Enough is Enough” and songs of rebellion.
Last year, our members at Sherwin Williams (Speke, Liverpool) reluctantly accepted a 4% pay rise. This year, they are determined to receive a better pay offer, which equates for the changes throughout the site; including a smaller workforce, a 33.9% increase in retained profits on the previous years and an enormous turnaround in the site's productivity and standards.
Dear Members
Following on from the hard work of our National Representatives, a further 56 ASDA stores have been removed from the original proposal, and Colleagues at those stores are no longer at risk of redundancy.
This comes after ASDA looked into the challenges raised by GMB union with regards to the current night operation, things that would make the new proposal very difficult to operate.
