Kola is a private hire driver. His dash cam sees the whole road, but TfL rules keep it silent on what's said to him. So the abuse leaves no trace. Drivers deserve to be heard. #MembersFirst

Putting a time limit on how long ambulance workers can stay on a category two emergency call is dangerous. But that’s what East of England Ambulance Service Trust is doing. They must rethink this policy.

Thames Water workers have had two years of uncertainty. A short-term private sector fix will not cut it. Water needs long term stability to clean up the environment and guarantee jobs. We need to bring Thames Water back into public ownership.

GMB winning for members Private hire driver – successful licensing hearing outcome. Member kept his licence and job. Disciplinary hearing – positive outcome. Punishment is not always the answer to errors and misjudgement. Education and mentoring often provide better opportunities for all parties.
