Gary Smith has been re-elected unopposed as our General Secretary and Treasurer. He joined GMB at 16 as an apprentice in the gas industry and this is his second term of office, following his first election as the union’s leader in 2021. Congratulations Gary!

This Workers Memorial Day we gathered at GMB in Stoke to commemorate those workers who have lost their lives at work. Simon Day, an Ambulance worker, tells us why the day - and union membership - is crucial in saving lives in the workplace. #IWMD2025

Nigel Farage’s Reform are soft on Russia, voted against your rights at work, and want to sell off the NHS. They’re no friend to working people. When they bring division and hate, we must choose solidarity and hope.

Heading home after a lovely weekend in Derry with pals. Weather was glorious and the pubs had Tennent’s - so couldn’t have asked for more. We inadvertently came on the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement which wasn’t lost on us. Definitely one of the best wee city’s going, well worth a visit.

I can remember a time when Make Work Pay was just one side of an A5 by-election leaflet. Tonight, MPs voted for the Employment Rights Bill to start delivering the new deal for working people. That’s the difference that a Labour Government working with trade unions can make.

For generations, North Sea oil and gas workers have powered our industries, warmed our homes and kept our country moving. We will be dependent on gas for decades to come, and we can’t rely on imports to meet our needs. These workers and their communities deserve a future.

Today in the House of Commons @kevinmckenna.co.uk talked about living with HIV. “It's whittled down to one tablet a day.” This is a significant act but delivered as Kevin would like it to be treated – as just another long term condition like many others.

The country voted for change last summer and for a new deal for working people. Bidfood’s attack on the rights of their workers shows just how much it’s needed. GMB members at Bidfood will have the full support of their union in facing down these threats.

Care workers do an incredible job, and they deserve to be paid properly and treated fairly. That means being able to afford to take time off when sick - not spreading illness or falling into debt. Great to join our members in HC One on their “Sick of SSP” campaign day. 🤒

Currently, those who miscarry before 24 weeks have to take 'sick leave' to grieve the loss of their baby. This isn’t right and it’s time the law caught up. The @commonswomequ.parliament.uk's miscarriage bereavement leave report covers the overwhelming case for statutory leave.

Inequality and lack of opportunity is a threat to democracy. Tens of thousands of promised UK jobs in wind have never materialised - we’ve been exporting jobs and importing virtue. Time to bring the jobs home and reindustrialise working class communities.

First post on this app is being a hype-man for my old branch president. If Scottish Labour is to win in 2026 we need our best players on the pitch. Kayleigh would be a brillaint MSP and bring some much needed fresh energy to Holyrood not to mention significant party and trade union experience.
