DISCLAIMER: We cannot help non-members, or those with pre-existing issues. All members are only covered for issues that occur AFTER you join us.
GMB is structured to represent the diverse needs and interests of our members, ensuring effective representation, communication, and decision-making on your behalf.
Whether you have a general question or are facing an issue at work, in the first instance you should speak to your workplace representative. Workplace reps are trained members who will be able to assist you with most questions and/or issues.
If you do not have a workplace rep, then your next point of contact is your branch. All members belong to a branch, which are organised either by geographical location (e.g. Greater Manchester) or by employer (e.g. Cumbria County Council). Branches are there to support members in work, as well allowing members to engage with union activities at a localised level.
If neither a workplace rep nor a branch can assist you, then your next point of contact is your regional organiser. Organisers are employees of the union who are experts in their field (e.g. health service, manufacturing etc.).
For more information on who the right person to contact is, please contact us either via email or phone.
