Our two GMB EMAS ballots closed on Wednesday 4th February 2026 at 22:00. Thank you to every member who took the time to vote and make their voice heard. We will now begin analysing the results and will update members once this work is complete.

GMB EMAS has today launched two ballots…

– Rota Consultation Ballot – open to all staff
– FRV Ballot – open to members who work on an FRV

As part of EMAS’s wider rostering review, the Trust proposed moving staff on 12-hour shifts from a 30-minute to a 45-minute meal break. While this was presented as a move towards consistency and wellbeing, GMB believed it was essential that members themselves had the final say.
