Our energy officer rang the entire energy industry to ask one question.
Every large energy company in Britain recognises a union. One doesn't. 🐙
@OctopusEnergy seems like a good time to talk.

GMB’s coastguard membership is growing every day, and it was great to spend time with some of them at Durham Miners’ Gala.
Coastguard Rescue Officers perform a vital role keeping the public safe.
They deserve full union recognition and pay justice.
We remember those who have lost their lives, been injured or made ill through his work.
Every worker deserves safe working conditions, respect, dignity & equality in their job & GMB will always fight for this.
🕯️Remember those who have lost their lives

Fantastic to be with Brendan, Martina and the @hinkleypointc team, and to launch GMB’s campaign for inclusive PPE.
There are 15,000 workers on site building our clean energy future.
Great to have Bylor and EDF commit to provide the right PPE to keep our members safe at work.
Happy New Year! Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! 🥳
Wishing all our amazing members, reps and workers the very best for 2026! Thank you for all you do, here’s for another year of standing together ✊

It's not just unions - employer groups are calling for the Employment Rights Bill to pass NOW.
It's really, really, really time for the unelected Lords to get out of the way and pass the Bill. #stoptheblock

We did it. We have just introduced the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.
Today our plans passed through parliament, and will soon become law.
This is a major victory for working people in every part of the country.

Proud that the Employment Rights Bill has now passed the Commons AND the Lords.
The biggest boost to rights at work in a generation.
A historic achievement for this Labour Government🌹

After 14 years where workers' rights were undermined by the Tories, the Employment Rights Bill offers the change we need to make the world of work fairer.
The Bill returns to the Lords tomorrow. They are still holding it up - and it has to stop.
Labour fought for it, voters backed it. Let's get it done. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8r3…
📢 This Saturday, 22 Nov, is Equal Pay Day.
From today, women are effectively working for free compared to men — because discrimination still exists.
The “unexplained” gender pay gap is discrimination in valuing women’s work. GMB is fighting to end it.
✊ Equal pay now.

📜The Employment Rights Bill returns to the Lords today.
The #NewDeal for Working People was a Manifesto
commitment, and must be delivered in full. That means passing the Bill intact and ensuring it is implemented robustly.

Team Plymouth is central to the government’s renewal plan — and there’s no Team Plymouth without our GMB members at Devonport Dockyard.
Our reps joined the One Plymouth launch in Parliament & we’re ready to help deliver for communities across Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall ✊

Shocking stats: 69% get no help after reporting abuse, 30% face violence monthly, 2/3 are women.
Zero tolerance! Care workers deserve respect & safety—GMB is fighting for real change.
