he next time you open your fridge, start the car
or charge your phone, say a little “thank you” to
the hard-working GMB members who are part of
the engineering construction industry. Ethane tanks, oil
refineries, power stations and even nuclear reactors are
built and serviced by proud GMB members.
GMB is one of just two unions that has negotiating rights
with energy plants and construction firms who have signed
the National Agreement for the Engineering Construction
Industry – NAECI. Through the agreement, GMB stands up
for members’ pay, as well as terms and conditions. The
NAECI has an arbitration mechanism that is even better
than that offered by industrial tribunals, and is supported
by the major companies that have signed it.
Thanks to being a NAECI signatory, GMB plays a key role
not just in the nation’s power supply, but in ensuring members
working on the sites shown here are properly looked after
by their employers.
GMB members all over the UK are hard at work building
and servicing our power stations, refineries, and more…
