Great news for our emergency winter aid appeal. Many thanks @GMB_union for donating £5,000 to support the secondary school in Kryvyi Rih that is part it.
More details and donate on the crowdfunder: bit.ly/uawinteraid
That takes us to £11,350 - nearing half way mark!

The conversation doesn't stop at Congress. While delegates debate the future for support staff in Blackpool, we're out in local schools 🏫 meeting members, listening, and showing how GMB delivers every day. 💪

Another great GMB school visit in Blackpool, with nine new members joining and new reps. ✊ While our delegates talk about how to Make Work Better at Congress, we're out in schools in Blackpool talking directly to workers @GMBGarySmith @RHarrisonGMB @bplantgmb

Vehicle funded by @GMB_union and packed with winter aid now in action with UA’s 129th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade, helping stop Russian drone attacks.
We still need to raise funds to cover costs of all the aid we delivered this month. Please help: bit.ly/frontlinedefence

🔥 Two days of learning, campaigning, and building power in the NHS & Ambulance Sector! 🔥
✅ Day 1: Training on Job Evaluation under NHS Agenda for Change, exploring tactics and sharing practical tips to campaign and win.
✅ Day 2: Workshops on getting more involved in the union, from national committees to regional groups, Congress, and writing motions. We wrapped up with a powerful session on NHS Pay and how to rethink our campaigning strategy. 💡 So many brilliant ideas came forward!
💪 Before closing, we reminded everyone: take the fight back to your workplaces! We’re just getting started.
📢 Together, we’re building strength for fair pay and stronger representation!

NEW: GMB Union says scrapping care visas could decimate care sector.
“Scrapping this visa will be deeply damaging –potentially catastrophic for our beleaguered care system.
"The whole sector is utterly reliant on migrant workers – yet we still have more than 130,000 vacancies."
