Freedom of association
In line with the requirements of international and local laws and the Conventions of the International Labour Organisation, we support freedom of association and the right of employees to organise and bargain collectively. Employees are free to join trade unions anywhere in GSK around the world, except where this is prevented by national law.
We do not have a centralised data collection system to track
union membership, however we believe the majority of our 33,000
manufacturing staff are represented by unions. This represents
about one third of our workforce.
