Today we launched Restore the Floor. MPs' and Peers' staff deserve pay that keeps up.
We're asking IPSA for a 5.8% rise and the 2019 pay bands back.
The more members we have, the more likely we win. Join GMB.

MPs’ staff keep our democracy running. They deal with constituents in crisis, work round the clock and have no HR that acts for them.
Australia, New Zealand and the EU employ parliamentary staff centrally. Westminster should too.
Back One Parliament, One Employer 👇
650 offices. 650 employers. One broken system.
Staff leaving Parliament within their first year is up 59% on 2023-24.
Our President @lisagillmore sets out in @politicshome why Parliament needs a single employer 👇

Last night GMB members came together in Parliament to mark Black History Month and launch The Activist Toolkit: twelve tools to champion equality at work.
Thank you to @CalvinBailey for sponsoring us and to everyone who joined.
Stronger together in every workplace ✊🏾

Who was less sure whether he'd finished, the Shadow Chancellor or the audience?

MPs and their staff are facing verbal abuse, online threats, and even physical violence. It's not part of the job and it's not acceptable.
Our @GMB_MPs_Staff branch president @lisagillmore spoke to @TheHouseMag about the threats our members face.

Serving your country & community shouldn't come at the risk of your safety. But verbal abuse, online threats & even physical violence are a reality for too many MPs & staff.
Branch president @lisagillmore told @TheHouseMag about threats our members face.

Florence has served south London for 20 years as a councillor, Assembly Member and MP. She knows the staff behind every MP deserve one employer and HR on their side.
Thanks Florence Eshalomi MP @FloEshalomi for backing #OneParliamentOneEmployer. (Signature No. 85)

Lord Evans has spent four decades organising in the labour movement. He knows people do their best work with an employer that backs them. One Parliament, one employer.
Thanks Lord Evans of Sealand for backing #OneParliamentOneEmployer. (Signature No. 81)

We’re sorry to hear that @andyburnham’s father, Roy, has died having lived with Alzheimer’s disease. Our thoughts are with Andy and his family during this difficult time. 💙
By speaking candidly about his family’s experience with #dementia, the Prime Minister has helped shine a light on the impact of dementia, as well as the urgent need to improve dementia care and support.
If you have been affected by this news and need dementia support, including advice on coping with grief and bereavement, you can contact our Helpline by calling 0800 888 6678 or emailing [email protected].

‘This is an absolute masterclass in deflection!'
Labour plans to ban ‘subscription traps’ to ease the cost of living… but how much does Netflix cost?
Health Minister @ChrisMcDonaldMP's answer has @NickferrariLBC gripped.

“It seemed like a bad joke that there is no HR in parliament.”
It’s not a joke. It’s a system that leaves thousands of MPs’ staff without the basic protections every other workplace takes for granted.
One Parliament, One Employer would fix it.
