Here you can read about some of the activities that Young GMB members have
undertaken
over the last 12 months.

As I’m sure you’re aware the Live 8 event is a matter of weeks away. Unless
you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a golden ticket for the gig in London
there is another fantastic way to support ‘Make Poverty History’ going on in
Edinburgh on the 2 July. As the leaders of the world’s richest countries gather
in Scotland for the G8 summit, a group of GMB young members will be joining
tens of thousands of others in demanding trade justice, debt cancellation and
more and better aid for the world’ poorest countries.
The following week the Tolpuddle Summer Academy begins. Having successfully
sent a group last year we intend to do the same again. You will join trade
unionists from up and down the country, across a range of unions and also to be
joined by a delegation from the German TUC, DGB. You will camp the week prior
to the festival and take part in a mixture of visits, discussion groups,
helping to prepare for the festival itself and of course the social side
(plenty of music, films and the Workers Beer Company bar).
