Energy workers keep the lights on. Their jobs and their skills must be at the centre of every decision on our energy future.

Thank you @andrewpakes.bsky.social for making the case for GMB Energy members as Jackdaw gets the green light. 👇

NHS staff at Queen’s and King George hospitals paid £1.2m to park at work last year. No trust in London charged its staff more.

Our members work unsociable hours and have no choice but to drive.

Scrap staff parking charges.

With radical options for Thames Water now being drawn up, the answer is clear.

Water workers have lived with crumbling pipes, rising bills and insecure jobs and pensions for too long.

It's time for public ownership.

Today is Emergency Services Day.

Paramedics. Call handlers. Coastguards. Cleaners and porters keeping A&E moving. They turn out every time, whatever is waiting for them.

They deserve our thanks, proper pay and the right to do the job without being assaulted.

Kola is a private hire driver.

His dash cam sees the whole road, but TfL rules keep it silent on what's said to him.

So the abuse leaves no trace.

Drivers deserve to be heard.

Skilled gardeners at London's Royal Parks were offered a pay rise of just 70p an hour. That is 55p above the London Living Wage.

The Living Wage is a floor, not a ceiling.

GMB Coastguard Rescue Officers took to Parliament today to demand the MCA rethink its plans to axe callout pay.

These are the people who leave their beds, their jobs and their families when the pager goes off.

Cuttings costs, costs lives. The MCA needs to listen.

GMB members keep our water flowing every day.

They have been clear from the start that this deal does nothing for workers, customers or the environment.

The Environment Secretary is right to reject it. The lasting fix is to bring Thames Water into public ownership.
