Organising - GMB@Work in Your Workplace
Not recruit, recruit, recruit,
but rather …
Organise, organise, organise!!
Our union at every level needs to adopt a radically different strategy on recruitment and organisation to grow and prosper. Membership growth must become the measure of every aspect of our work and we must re-build the link between recruitment, representing and retaining members.
Four out of five GMB members first joined us because a GMB Rep where they worked asked them to. GMB Reps in the workplace must be seen as the frontline of our efforts to grow the union and must be trained, supported and given the resources by the union they need to recruit, organise and represent members.
Effective, active and strong workplace organisation, lead and sustained by GMB Reps is our goal. Our purpose is to grow the union in the workplace not to just achieve recruitment targets but so that our members have more say on the job.
