It's not a lack of recruitment gimmicks causing the crisis in social care. It's the appalling levels of pay. Highly-skilled care workers have made incredible sacrifices. It's time they were properly valued. https://gmb.org.uk/news/sort-pay-care-or-any-new-recruitment-gimmicks-wont-work

The National Disability Strategy was a real chance to set out radical policies that would enable disabled workers to thrive. But the most important decisions have been ducked or delayed. It will be remembered as an historic missed opportunity. https://gmb.org.uk/news/national-disability-strategy-historic-missed-opportunity

Solidary to all GMB members taking the fight to McVities with @GMBScotOrg If you hadn’t taken on this campaign, they'd have closed the factory already. Keep fighting everybody. #OurFactoryOurFuture

TFL's consultation could leave many low-paid workers at a loss where public transport is not an option. And the cost of the congestion charge will still be prohibitive for private hire drivers. https://gmb.org.uk/news/tfl-congestion-charge-changes-still-prohibitive-private-hire-drivers

The Home Secretary heaps praise on our brave members, then offers them a pay cut. It’s rank hypocrisy. Workers are disgusted - we'll be meeting shortly to consider next steps. https://gmb.org.uk/news/policy-staff-pay-offer-massive-real-terms-cut

We welcome plans to ensure greater investment in hydrogen. But hitting hard-up families with a levy is not the way to go. Ministers need to show some ambition and get on and release a hydrogen strategy. https://gmb.org.uk/news/boiler-ban-backlash-inevitable-unless-politicians-boost-hydrogen

School staff, refuse collectors and council workers have kept our country moving. They've put themselves in harm's way. Now they're being told all they deserve is a pay cut. It's woeful - members will have our backing if they want to take action. https://gmb.org.uk/news/local-government-pay-offer-woeful-reward-pandemic-efforts

Gary is devastated. Working for Islington council, where he was born and raised, was his passion and vocation. His callous sacking over an honest error is starting to look like political victimisation. https://gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-pulls-funding-labour-party-london-after-grieving-caretaker-sacked

A staggering u-turn from the Conservatives who were ready to hand over whole nuclear projects to China a few years ago. We have a huge opportunity to regain the UK’s position as world leader in new nuclear. To make it happen the Govt needs to stop talking and start investing.

This decision has been driven by resources, not by what’s safe for the workers or their families. The problem isn’t workers getting pinged, the problem is workers getting coronavirus. https://gmb.org.uk/news/self-isolation-exemptions-gamble-keyworkers-lives

This is absolutely horrifying. We cannot condemn it strongly enough and we're offering whatever support necessary. Thanks to the public and police for their swift action - we'll be asking management how this was allowed to happen. https://gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-condemns-horrifying-attacks-asda-workers-clapham

"Knowing you get paid less for the same work than some of your mates in the same job, especially when you have two kids to care for, is gut-wrenching. "This deal means a lot to me." 🧡✊ A Porter at this hospital 👇 https://gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-yorkshire-hospital-strike-after-massive-pay-win-workers

The UK needs a balanced energy policy to get to net zero and meet demand. There's also a massive opportunity to create thousands of well-paid green jobs. But this report shows we need to act fast. https://bit.ly/3eO63oN

NHS staff are furious at this shameful pay offer. It completely fails to recognise the huge efforts made by workers during the pandemic. We'll be making that known. #NHSPay15 https://gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-nurses-stage-sheffield-banner-protest-over-real-terms-pay-cut

Social carers have gone above & beyond. To be told they must get jabbed or face the sack, just before Christmas, will be the last straw for many. The best approach is simple. Pay workers a salary that values what they do: £15 an hour. https://gmb.org.uk/news/pay-care-workers-15-hour-unsafe-staffing-vaccine
