GMB EMAS has a new committee following elections at the May branch meeting. New Branch Secretary Dan Roizer says the message is simple: “We know some of you feel the union hasn’t always done enough. We’ve heard that, and we’re not going to shy away from it.” With new leadership in place, the branch is promising greater transparency, visibility, and accountability, with members set to see real changes in how the branch operates over the coming months.

The GMB @ EMAS ballot returned a 31.64% turnout, falling short of the legally required 50%. Industrial action cannot proceed. However, with over 500 members voting yes, EMAS must address the ongoing concerns around the rota review. Your reps will continue working to resolve issues.

The GMB ballot closes this Wednesday 25th March – if you haven’t returned your paper yet, please do it today. Your vote matters. Following a large number of member responses, we’ve already forced the trust to pause disputed rotas until July. That happened because of you. Keep that pressure on. Find your orange envelope and get it back before Wednesday.
