YOU'RE BETTER OFF IN THE UNION!
GPMU is the Union for workers in the Printing, Paper, Packaging, Publishing and Media industries.
We aim to win a better deal and fair treatment at work for all GPMU members.
Protection, job security, pay and your rights at work are some of the issues the Union deals with.
Membership of the Union can give you a voice at work and the ability to make positive changes to your daily working life.
Unity is strength! The more people in the Union, the greater your collective strength and the bigger difference you can make. Whether you're in the office or on the shop floor - you need a Union.
The facts
about unions
UNIONISED WORKERS ARE 10% BETTER OFF
Workers who are in a union are better paid, have better conditions and get more holidays.
An in depth study carried out by Warwick University and the TUC revealed the clear benefits of union membership.
YOU'RE SAFER IN THE UNION!
The GPMU has won over £23 million in compensation for it's members in the last three years alone.
Being in the Union gives you protection.
In this day and age, you never know what's around the corner. It makes sense to be in the Union.
It's a fact that union members win more compensation at Employment Tribunals than those workers who decide to go it alone.
FAIR TREATMENT & RESPECT
The very least you should expect from your boss is to be treated fairly and with respect. However, this is often not the case, especially in non-unionised companies. Without a Union you're on your own, but join the GPMU and you're part of a Union with over 200,000 members across the Country, 5,000 of whom work in the North East. With new laws giving workers and union members new rights, there are now more people than ever joining the Union.
