8 ASOS - Barnsley

9 GMB Launches ASOS Campaign Thousands of workers at the online retail giant in Barnsley are exposed to draconian workplace conditions. Sub-standard working conditions at the site have led to a lack of health & safety, which has affected the health and well-being of our members. The company makes millions in profits.

10 Our Message To ASOS In December 2015, GMB launched a campaign at ASOS. Our message to them was simple: ‘Show Our Members Respect’ Membership has doubled and the fight continues…

11 Green Co - Sheffield

12 Green Co Campaign ‘18 months and still fighting for justice for sacked GMB reps from Green Co in Sheffield’ Jim Rodgers & Gordon Parkes were sacked by Green Co, a refuse contractor in Sheffield, for standing up against bad working practices and bullying.

13 Green Co Official Dispute

14 Green Co Campaign The dispute was long and drawn out and the courage our members and their families showed was a credit to them. The campaign for justice launched by GMB and political pressure resulted in the Green Co contract with Sheffield City Council being terminated…

15 “The Green Co lads have now been taken on by a charity, in partnership with Sheffield City Council, to put in place a workers’ co-operative that will take over the Green Co contract”

16 Foster Carers

17 Foster Carers’ Campaign GMB was approached by a group of foster carers in Leeds who needed our support when the local authority began to attack their terms and conditions as part of a cost-saving exercise. Successfully winning the fight in Leeds, word spread and soon foster carers from Kirklees, Bradford and Calderdale joined GMB... …and now we’re going National

18 “Foster carers are vulnerable - working alone, in their homes, self employed with no employment rights and only a set of terms and conditions given to them by the local authority. That’s why we all turned to GMB” Colleen Callaghan - Kirklees Foster Carer

19 GMB now has 175 foster carers in membership and the figure is increasing daily.

20 Batley Food Bank

21 “Thirteen million people live below the poverty line in the UK. Individuals go hungry every day for a range of reasons, from benefit delays to receiving an unexpected bill or low income”

22 “GMB is proud to support Batley Food Bank and through donations made by GMB and our members we have fed hundreds of families in Batley and the surrounding area”

23

24 “Without YOU none of this would be possible and we are truly grateful”

25 640,000 individuals… U nited in one voice WE ARE PROUD TO BE GMB
