@GMBMidlands Young Workers. Campaigning and winning for young people in the workplace.

@Sarah_atGMB @GMBMidlands What a great day it was, Sarah - Thank you so much, for organising!

[GMB Midlands Young Workers @GMBMidlandsYW]

The Trade Union Act 2016 was built to weaken unions and hold workers back — especially young workers trying to fight low pay, insecure contracts, and exploitation.

It wasn’t “reform”.
It was union-busting.

Good riddance. 🗑️🔥

🚀 Quick update:

Since the REF co-opted Jake & Abi alongside Ash, lots has been happening behind the scenes - we’ll soon meet with Sarah James & Martin Allen to push things forward.

Talk isn’t enough, we’re committed to action. Young members, we’ll be in touch! 🤩

STAND WITH @labourunionsuk TO STOP REFORM* 🌹

Join our friends at Labour Unions, to halt Reform and reveal its true agenda: a threat to working people’s interests. 😤

Solidarity! 🧡

[GMB Midlands Young Workers @GMBMidlandsYW]

It's great to see some of our own, including @PhilipHutch98 and @RubyHSimpson, out supporting the campaign in Runcorn today! 🧡🌹

[Philip Hutchinson @PhilipHutch98]

Great to be out with @YoungLabourUK in Runcorn today.

Our generation can’t afford Reform: they would undermine the NHS, oppose workers’ rights and roll back action on climate change.

Only Labour can deliver a better and brighter future for young people 🌹

[GMB Midlands Young Workers @GMBMidlandsYW]

We stand in solidarity with our steelworkers. 🥽

It's great to see that this Labour Government has stepped in to save British steel 🌹- something we know the GMB has been campaigning for now for some time.

#MakeWorkBetter. 🧡✊🏽

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Today, my government has stepped in to save British Steel and secure Britain’s future.

[GMB Midlands Young Workers @GMBMidlandsYW]

👀 Great news for our Young Wokers! ⬇️

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

BREAKING 🚨 | 18-24 year olds are more than twice as likely to be on exploitative zero-hours contracts, than other workers.

Meaning they’re more at risk from unfair dismissal, missing sick pay, lack of control and low pay.

The government’s Make Work Pay agenda will put more money in young people's pockets.

And the Employment Rights Bill will ban exploitative contracts & boost protections.

Everyone deserves to start their working lives on a strong footing.

[GMB Midlands Young Workers @GMBMidlandsYW]

A great discussion was had by all, particularly focusing on how we can improve Young Workers Engagement in the Midlands. 👀

Tonight young workers gathered from across the East Midlands for a TUC young workers event.

Young people keep organising and we won’t stop until we get the pay and rights we deserve.

I’m proud @GMBMidlands helped support this event alongside other incredible trade unionists ✊
