Earlier in the year we emailed a survey to our branch's young members to ask them about how they felt about the union and our branch in particular. Below is a summary of the responses; prepared by our Youth Officer.
If you have any comments or feedback, or want to get more involved then please get in touch with our Branch Youth Officer

Common themes of survey:
- Improving working and pay conditions for NHS and care staff,
- Getting GMB out there more in workplaces, present more in workplaces,
- Knowing meetings are taking place.
Ideas on how to do this:
- Petition to call for care and NHS staff to be properly paid, not be worked to the bone and in unsafe environments.
- In every workplace where there are GMB members having visits, leaflets, etc. in, running a campaign to give employees the free choice on which union to join and not have trusts “recognising” some and others not (which I have personally experienced in previous jobs).
- In new member packs having a section introducing the different officers, positions, and introducing our meetings and that there is no pressure to commentate on anything, can just join meetings to stay in the loop.
- Focus groups or forums with young members in the summer
- Any other ideas on how to address the above themes are very much welcome and can be addressed to any of the officers including myself (Youth officer).
