EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS
If you have a problem at work:
- Involve your GMB workplace representative first. GMB representatives are trained to help you defend your rights. They will do everything they can to resolve your problem at the workplace.
- If you do not have a GMB workplace representative you are still legally entitled to have a GMB representative accompany you to a grievance or disciplinary hearing. Just call 0845 337 7777 and you will be put in touch with a GMB representative.
- Sometimes problems at work require legal action. That is why Yorkshire & North Derbyshire Region has its own legal department providing expert employment law advice and Employment Tribunal representation.
- If legal action is needed a GMB officer will help you deal with the pre-Employment Tribunal claim requirement to take the complaint through ACAS Early Conciliation.
- Many thousands of workers have been prevented from getting justice by Employment Tribunal fees introduced by the Coalition Government (these can be over £1200 in a single claim). Fees are not a barrier for GMB members as they will be dealt with through the Regional Fee Assistance Scheme.
24 Hour Criminal Law Helpline – call 0300 333 0303:
GMB members often work in occupations that may make them vulnerable to false allegations. You need to know you will get the right level of support when and if it is needed. GMB members accused of a work related criminal offence will get free initial advice and representation. Just call the Criminal Law Helpline number above.
