If you would like a printed copy, we would be happy to supply one to any GMB member free of charge.
The Political Fund is GMB’s campaign fund that is used to fight for the issues that matter most to our members. It allows us to fight for GMB members not just in the workplace, but wherever power lies – from council chambers to our Parliaments.
The overwhelming support for keeping the Political Fund shows that GMB members recognise and value the importance of campaigning to make work better. By voting YES, our members have ensured that GMB will keep its strong industrial voice, and a strong political one too.
Thank you.
