Equality

GMB has been at the forefront of the fight for equality within trade unions, at the workplace and within society for many years.  Regional responsibility for Equality issues lies with the Regional Equalities Forum. This is composed of two people representing each of the Equality Strands with an additional strand for the retired members.

The forum has agreed to have meetings of each strand to look at how the work could be developed within that particular area and to identify potential campaigns.
