What with the pandemic and the current economic crisis, people feel paralysed by the mess this government have flagrantly bestowed on communities throughout the UK.
This government have failed miserably to deal with the cost of living crisis but in doing so they are deliberately trying to distract from their failure by picking a fight with trade unions and the current wave of industrial action is a reaction to that failure. There is no alternative to such aggressive behaviour, we simply need to rise to that challenge and fight back and stand together supporting our members and their families. A union is not a union if it negates its own action. No matter how much the right wing press vilify, in the most disparaging way our right to protect workers and to withdraw our labour when faced with the intransigence of employers and the interference of government for political objective, we need to stand firm and we stand together.  Here is the Autumn 2022 training programme for GMB Representatives from our region GMB Midlands Education Department

 Message from GMB Midland & East Coast Region: To: All GMB role holders in the Midlands Region
Working people have had enough. Ministers partied while people died. Now they do nothing while living standards plummet and P&O lays off hundreds of workers on the spot. It’s time for a new deal for working people, real help with energy bills and a pay rise.  The Labour Party will soon start it's process to select candidates for the next General Election.
GMB members in workplaces across the country have been central to the UKs recovery from this pandemic. From care workers and NHS heroes, to school staff and office workers; GMB members deserve recognition and thanks from those in charge in Government. Too often though the political process can seem distant from the realities in our workplaces and communities. |
