Jenny Howard

Hi, I'm Jenny. I've worked in local Government for nearly 6 years, within the housing department. My background includes working in healthcare and other roles within the community. Having always worked with people I'm genuinely passionate about people's rights and about facilitating change that benefits workers.  I'm a skilful negotiator, I'm fair and I'm able to organise and lead. I'm passionate about campaigning for better pay, better health & safety within the workplace and bringing more members and reps into our community.

Fiseal Riaz

I believe that I would really thrive as a branch secretary for the GMB union because I have the motivation, enthusiasm, passion, commitment, and drive to achieve positive results, especially in challenging circumstances when they arise. I have a strong, firm, and fair voice to represent the GMB union as a whole and also for its members and reps and to stand up for the equality rights for GMB union and what the working class deserve which is a lot more especially as the living crisis continues. I'm also a very good team player, and I can use my own initiative when needed, I'm a very quick learner as I do have experienced long term serving GMB union members to give me the knowledge and understanding of being a branch secretary. I'm looking forward to stepping up and making a change in a very positive, constructive manner, which will achieve positive results.
