Today is International Women’s Day.
As we do every year, GMB is once again supporting International Women’s Day. This year’s theme is #AcceleratingAction
Based on data from the World Economic Forum it will take until 2158 to achieve Gender Equality –

Our members who clean and cater St Georges Hospital in Tooting are sick and tired of not getting paid properly and not being respected by their employer, Mitie.
So this lunchtime they staged a demonstration outside the hospital entrance.
