Our campaign. Our words. Now our union’s policy. Nearly 5,000 of us, treated differently depending on which MP we work for. “We don’t want a plaster on the cracks of a defunct structure.” #OneParliamentOneEmployer*
It’s official. GMB Congress has just made One Parliament One Employer GMB policy. 650 MPs. 650 separate employers. One broken system. Not for much longer.
