General Municipal & Boilermakers Trade Union (GMB)
GMB Union is one of the UK’s largest and most diverse trade unions, representing over 600,000 members across public and private sectors. The Halesowen branch operates from Will Thorne House on Birmingham Road and supports workers across industries such as local government, healthcare, education, utilities, logistics, retail, and more.
The branch is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, providing local support through workplace representation, employment advice, training sessions, and collective bargaining assistance. Members can also access legal help, health and safety guidance, and union-led educational courses.
In addition to local services, the Halesowen branch connects with the wider GMB Midlands region to participate in campaigns for fair pay, safer workplaces, equality, and stronger public services. Members also benefit from national offerings such as legal support, health plans, financial services, and member-only discounts.
The GMB Halesowen branch continues to be a vital support system for local workers, providing a voice in the workplace and standing up for fair treatment, safe conditions, and better pay.
