GMB union ‘riddled with misogyny and cronyism’, says former regional chief

Cath Pinder says the EHRC should investigate amid claims confidentiality clauses prevent women making complaints

GMB must release former female staff members from confidentiality clauses that prevent them speaking publicly about their treatment, a former regional president of the trade union has said.

Cath Pinder, who was suspended from the union for failing to respond to an email and subsequently expelled earlier this year, said she “feels the GMB is riddled with misogyny and cronyism” and that the union was “failing its members”.
