Good union jobs. Equal pay.

She/ her.
Today especially we are missing our sister Michelle who started this fight, but isn’t around to see it concluded.

Michelle was relentless in leading this most recent battle for equal pay against Birmingham. She inspires me every day. I miss her terribly.
"We need to make sure that the young girls that we teach can go into jobs in the future knowing that they're going to be paid fairly along with their male colleagues." 👏

GMB have reached an agreement with Birmingham City Council to settle equal pay liabilities 🎉

We would not be here without the courage of women workers taking strike action to force their employer to the table.

Credit to all those who got us into the room, and those that delivered in there!
These women have made history.

After a long fight, GMB can today announce that we've thrashed out a framework agreement for settling equal pay claims in Birmingham City Council.

A significant step towards pay justice. ✊

Solidarity to the outsourced ISS workers at 5 south London hospitals on strike today over low pay, understaffing and bullying. ✊

Domestics, porters and catering staff are essential to the safe running of a hospital - it’s time they were valued and respected.
