GMB Birmingham & West Midlands Region

About the GMB

Support

The GMB is Britain’s General Union and has around 53,558 members across the Birmingham and West Midlands 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 604,500 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.
