UNION membership at Reform-led Staffordshire County Council has increased since the party took control after the May election, new figures reveal.

The GMB said workers were 'flocking' to join unions amid fears of cuts to pay, jobs and conditions by Reform.

As well as Staffordshire, the GMB has also seen an increase in membership include Durham, Lancashire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Doncaster. GMB national officer Rachel Harrison said: “Reform spouts a lot of nonsense about being on the side of workers, but these figures show people aren’t buying it.
