Find out more about the issues woman face in the workplace and how being a GMB member can help.
Women Workers
GMB activists campaign and fight for better rights, pay and conditions for all women at work.
Despite 100 years of progress in law and society, women workers are still a long way off from being treated fairly at work. In many sectors, the situation for women workers is getting worse.
Women still get paid less than male counterparts for work of equal value. Women are still discriminated against if we have children or other caring responsibilities. We are are still more affected by public sector cuts.
Women find ourselves working harder to combat discrimination, pay inequality and to be recognised for their talents.
