Quarterly Health & Safety Meeting Update

Branch Meetings and Congress 2025 Wrap Up

First, we want to extend a huge thank you to all members who attended the branch meeting on June 13th. Your presence and participation are vital to the strength of our union.
Congress 2025 was an outstanding experience! We are incredibly proud of our delegates, Clive and Rhian, who represented our branch with such dedication and skill. They truly did the branch proud. We also want to acknowledge and thank all the visitors who attended this year's Congress – your engagement is always valued.
At the recent branch meeting, we held elections and can confirm the results. We're pleased to announce that by a unanimous vote, the current post holders have been re-elected! This strong show of unity allows us to maintain stability and continue our important work.
Our branch remains in a healthy and strong position, and this is thanks to the collective efforts of everyone. We particularly want to encourage all our representatives to keep up the fantastic work they're doing with recruitment. Your dedication to growing our membership is crucial for our continued success and influence. Finally, a reminder to all representatives: if you'd like the branch to purchase merchandise for upcoming recruitment campaigns, please don't hesitate to contact the branch executive committee. We're here to support your efforts!

The Next Branch meeting will be held on the 12th September 2025
The Last Branch meeting will be held on the 12th December.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

G4S DWP UPDATE

GMB MEMBERS RETURN 65% VOTE IN FAVOUR OF THE G4S DWP 2022/23 PAY OFFER

Thank You for Your Support: A Message from Your GMB National Representatives

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our members for their participation in the recent ballot.

We are pleased to announce that the outcome was a 65% vote in favour of the offer, with an impressive turnout of over 91% of members casting their votes.

While we recognise that the offer wasn’t perfect and affected members differently across the country, this positive result marks the conclusion of this chapter of negotiations.

Throughout the dispute, your activism, energy, and passion have been nothing short of inspiring. We’ve seen incredible growth in membership, as well as a surge in those stepping up to represent GMB at their workplaces.

This ballot has demonstrated the collective strength of our members, who have shown their commitment to pursuing better pay and working conditions—a remarkable and unprecedented step in both this employer and industry.

Although this is a significant milestone, there is still much work to be done to continue improving pay and conditions. Our attention will now turn to increasing pressure on the DWP and preparing for the 2024 pay talks.

Once again, thank you for your patience and dedication throughout the dispute. We look forward to continuing to represent you all in the months ahead.

In unity,
Your GMB National Representatives
