NOT A MEMBER OF THE GMB YET?

Ask yourself the following questions

If you have answered NO to any of these then we will be able to help you and your colleagues.

In law, you have a right to join a union and membership is confidential between the member and the union and can remain that way if subs are paid by direct debit or cash. However if subs are paid by check-off the employer will know they are a member because of making the deductions from wages so it is like waiving that confidentiality.

If 50% plus one employees in your place of work join GMB, we can apply for recognition.  This means GMB can come into your company and directly negotiate on your behalf.  Even without recognition, we can represent our members at disciplinaries and grievances.
