The GMB has three sections for members working in particular industries or occupations, Public Services, Commercial Services and Manufacturing.
Sections are serviced by teams of full time Organisers at regional and national level, supported by Researchers at National Office in London.
We provide the following functions on a regional level, to focus on offering a service tailored to the needs of our members in the Southern Region.
Support
The GMB is Britain’s General Union and has around 75,000 members across the Southern region, who work in all occupations across both the public and private sectors.
The particular strength of a general union is that it gives any workers in any industry, however large or small, the combined support of all its members in all industries and services.
Union members enjoy better terms and conditions of employment than non-union members and can feel safe in the knowledge that they’re part of a national network of over 600,000 members.
GMB’s purpose is to improve the quality of life of our members and their families. We actively encourage and support members wishing to pursue further education or develop their skills.
Advice
The GMB provides advice and guidance on employment law, health and safety at work, pensions, Human Resource Management, terms and conditions.
GMB members are supported by shop stewards, local representatives and full-time officials who negotiate, represent, listen and advise on our members’ behalf.
Legal backing
Through GMB and its specialist solicitors, members recover millions of pounds in compensation.
