The present committee was elected on 5
th
July 2016, with a two year tenure before elections will be
held.
In terms of staffing, the GGCA retains two administrative officers and a Branch Officer (not a GGCA
officer, but an Administrative Officer on secondment from the civil service). We also have a retired
member who works on an ad hoc basis running our Credit and Savings Scheme.
The GGCA currently retains 1,772 members, representing Admin/Clerical and Technical Grades in
both the MoD and GoG. Additionally it also represents members within HM Customs Gibraltar, the
Gibraltar Health Authority and several government agencies as well as private sector entities like
MasterService (Gib) Ltd, The Rock Hotel and Bassadone Motors.
The GGCA currently has no links to the UK Trade Unions and therefore cannot participate in the TUC
or ETUC.
Benefits of GTUC membership
At this point in time, the GGCA Committee feels that we need to network and engage with other
unions in order to improve our working practice and arrive at the most efficient and effective way of
running our organization. We would like to avail ourselves of the excellent training opportunities
offered by the GFTU, as well the possibility of having a strategic review conducted for our union,
with the aim of arriving at a clear and staged roadmap for future improvement. We also understand
that the GFTU offers extra services which might be advantageous to us, in the interests of
streamlining our organization operationally.
