GET ORGANISED @ WORK<br />

The law allows unions to dem<strong>and</strong> negotiation rights (recognition)<br />

wherever 50% + 1 of employees are union members.<br />

Even where we already have recognition – experience tells us that<br />

the more people there are in the union the stronger <strong>and</strong> more<br />

effective the union becomes:<br />

• You can help build the union in your <strong>work</strong>place<br />

• Talk to your colleagues about the issues that you see as important<br />

in your <strong>work</strong>place – the areas where improvement could <strong>and</strong> should<br />

be made<br />

• Talk to your colleagues about union membership<br />

• Encourage your colleagues to join the <strong>GMB</strong> – direct debit means we<br />

can demonstrate<br />

membership levels to an<br />

employer without<br />

disclosing the names of<br />

individual members as we<br />

build the union<br />

• <strong>GMB</strong> will provide<br />

support <strong>and</strong> advice<br />

about approaching<br />

your employer for<br />

recognition<br />

• <strong>GMB</strong> will help you<br />

elect <strong>work</strong>place<br />

representatives<br />

• <strong>GMB</strong> will provide<br />

training <strong>and</strong><br />

support for your<br />

<strong>work</strong>place<br />

representatives<br />

• <strong>GMB</strong> will help<br />

you get<br />

<strong>organised</strong> at <strong>work</strong>.<br />
