The
GMB Shout! is a group of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and trans
members of the GMB - Britain's General Union.
We support LGBT
GMB members who may experience problems at work surrounding their
sexuality.
We also aim to provide a safe forum where LGBT members
can come together to talk about issues of concern to them, and
to network with other LGBT members.
We also
challenge negative attitudes towards LGBT people and lobby for,
promote, progress and publicise LGBT rights in the workplace and
in local, regional, national and international campaigns and matters.
We have already
had successes in advising members and shop stewards, in campaigning,
recruitment and assisting a number of other LGBT organisations.
