GMB EMAS has successfully challenged the recent changes to meal break deployment. EMAS will now revert to the previous system and work with unions to develop a more balanced, staff-friendly approach that ensures breaks are fair and within appropriate timeframes.

GMB Congress has backed a motion from GMB@EMAS calling for stronger protections for disabled workers seeking reasonable adjustments, including fairer access to flexible working and updated employer guidance.

GMB EMAS objected to the recent changes to the Meal Break Deployment prior to it being implemented. However, despite out objection, EMAS have introduced this on a trial basis.
