GMB staff and members to complain to equalities watchdog over institutional sexism

Group to say GMB is breaching Equality Act duties by failing to properly investigate sexual harassment and bullying claims

A dozen former and current GMB staffers and members are planning to complain to the equalities watchdog about allegations of institutional sexism and women being bullied out of their roles at the trade union.

The group plans to argue to the Equality and Human Rights Commission that the GMB is failing to adequately investigate sexual harassment and bullying claims, which could be a breach of its duties under the Equality Act.
