GMB Milton Keynes City Branch

Milton Keynes branch of the GMB trade union; Britain's General Union.

Promoted by GMB Union, 22 Stephenson Way, London, NW1 2HD.

[GMB Union @GMB_union]

150,000 GMB members in Local Government have rejected the pay offer.

A 3.3% rise when energy bills are sky rocketing isn't good enough.

School staff, carers and refuse workers deserve more.

[GMB London Region @GMBLondonRegion]

We asked hundreds of school support staff what academisation feels like.

"Run like a business." "Overstretched." "Ignored."

Children aren't a product. Schools aren't a profit margin.

[GMB London Region @GMBLondonRegion]

Academisation was sold as a way to free schools up. For support staff, it's done the opposite.

50:1.

For every academy trust worker who says their workload has gone down, fifty say it's gone up.

If you're a TA, cleaner, caretaker, lunchtime supervisor or admin in an academy school, you don't have to carry this alone.

Join GMB. Stand with school support staff.

The support staff who actually work in schools have spoken.

Workload up. Wellbeing down. Pay at the top through the roof.

607 GMB London school support staff surveyed.

93% are against academisation.

Great to see so many GMB sisters together at the GMB London Region Women’s AGM.

We would like to express our sympathies with Gary Stanley's family, friends, and colleagues, following his death.

We are aware of the impact this will have had on our members in security services in MK.

Contact us if you would like to discuss health & safety in your workplace.

Support staff are not secondary.
Not an afterthought.
Not a side issue.

Your pay is negotiated separately under the NJC framework, and GMB is at that table.

If you work in a support role, make sure you’re in the union that negotiates for you.

Join GMB, the union for school support staff.

🧡Unions deliver real improvements at work.

Higher pay. Safer conditions. Secure hours. Sick pay from day one.

That’s what collective strength looks like.

Join GMB and make work pay.

Closing the Marston Gate site may be a simple decision for Amazon, but the decisions our members face over the coming months won’t be so easy.

Many of our members live in the local area and have planned work around caring responsibilities and other commitments.

On this day in 1897 Nye Bevan, the founder of our NHS, was born in South Wales.

Today let's remind ourselves of the struggle to create our NHS and reinvigorate our determination to defend it 👏

30 years ago the Disability Discrimination Act came into force.

It made it illegal to discriminate against disabled people - for the first time.

There’s still so much to do. But we celebrate the steps forward along the way.

[GMB Union @GMB_union]

The government have said they can only afford 2.5% for NHS Pay. That's not good enough.

Ministers must recognise the PRB is broken.

They need to come to the table themselves - and deliver the decent pay that NHS workers deserve.
