GMB working for members

"GMB are always at the end of the phone if I have a problem"

I joined the GMB 2 years ago and membership fees are money well spent.

“I joined because GMB will always support you."

They will always support you and help carers get the recognition that they deserve.

"Having support brings comfort and reassurance"

Being part of GMB for so many years has been very beneficial to me.

"Our members have a voice at work"

I love ensuring that GMB members have a voice at work and standing up to unfairness when I see it.
