Workers from diverse backgrounds encounter various unfair challenges in the workplace, including disparities in wages based on factors such as age, gender & ethnicity.

The gap must be removed…….

Today is Equal Pay Day: the day women effectively stop earning compared to men.

We fight inequality wherever we find it.

That’s why GMB Union members have launched more than 25 equal pay claims at employers across the UK 👏

Today is World Toilet Day

Millions around the world do not have access to a toilet. Some walk miles just to find one. Lack of safe, clean toilets spreads disease, puts lives at risk & strips people of their dignity. Clean water & sanitation are not a privilege - they are a basic human right.

Drivers who switched to EVs may face thousands of pounds in extra costs because of proposed changes to the Congestion Charge.

This change would affect professional drivers, as well as couriers, key workers, and small business.

Attention Taxi & Private Hire Drivers

Due to the recent rise in racist attacks on drivers, it’s more important than ever to stay safe.

Protect yourself - install CCTV camera with monitor (ensure compliance with Licensing & ICO regulations).

Your safety matters. Don’t take risks - get protected.

🚘Private hire drivers, couriers & key workers face being hit with a £13.50-a-day charge for driving electric vehicles.

❌Rolling back the Cleaner Vehicle Discount will hit working people hardest. It’s unfair, and it risks reversing real progress.

Nigel Farage the worker’s friend? No chance.

He voted against ending fire and rehire.

He voted against sick pay from day 1.

He wants to privatise the NHS.

We see you.

Teachers - 4% pay rise 📈

School support staff - 3.2% pay rise 📉

We must stop this chronic undervaluing of workers so vital in our children’s education.

That’s why we need the School Support Staff Negotiating Body 🧑‍🏫

“We can’t fix what we don’t measure.”

That’s why GMB is leading the charge for mandatory ethnicity pay gap reporting.

Great to have @DawnButlerBrent and @julietocampbell joining our members today to push for real transparency.

It’s been 6 months. 450+ Barnet women are still waiting to be paid fairly.

Every week of silence means:
💰 Bigger back pay bills
⚠️ More strain on services
❌ More broken trust

This is LONG overdue, and it’s only getting worse.
