The Yorkshire & North Derbyshire region is one of nine GMB regions that make up the national organisation with over half a million general members employed in workplaces and organisations across the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. We are the only major trade union in the country that has increased its membership year on year for the last three without resorting to amalgamation or merger like others.
The GMB Yorkshire and North Derbyshire Region is launching its campaign against ASOS in Barnsley, South Yorkshire to highlight the poor working conditions many employees are subjected to on a daily basis. ASOS is a Global online retailer and have recently seen their profits double from £15.7 million to £30.3 million, published in their last accounts. Who is it who makes ASOS these profits? The GMB have requested that ASOS meet to discuss issues around Health and Safety, poor working conditions, but still today they refuse. Being left with no other option the GMB Yorkshire and North Derbyshire Region is launching its online social media campaign. We urge ALL employees at ASOS in Barnsley, to join the GMB Trade Union in order to force ASOS into negotiations. Profit should NOT come at the price of workers terms and conditions; neither should it be at the price of poor health and safety. Our message to the employees of ASOS is simple,
“Only if you join the GMB will you see improvements within ASOS. Join today, become a member and get your colleagues to join too. Strength is in numbers and power is in unity, so please join now and let us help you better your terms and conditions”
