GMB accused of ‘bullyboy tactics’ in alleged attempt to take over TSSA

Maryam Eslamdoust claims GMB is using in-house agreement to block staff recruitment

One of Labour’s biggest union backers has been accused of employing “bullyboy tactics” in an alleged attempt to take over a smaller rail union and seize control of its assets.

Maryam Eslamdoust, the left-leaning general secretary of the Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association (TSSA), claims that the GMB union is using an in-house agreement to block staff recruitment and take control of the white-collar union to access its buildings.
