Work stoppages considered over police spy scandal

The Mar­itime Union may call a nation­al work stop­page to hold stop­work meet­ings of its mem­bers to dis­cuss the police spy scan­dal.

The Mar­itime Union was one of a num­ber of Unions report­ed­ly named in emails about union actions sent by police informer Rob Gilchrist to his han­dler in the Spe­cial Inves­ti­ga­tion Group.

Mar­itime Union Gen­er­al Sec­re­tary Trevor Han­son says the Mar­itime Union is sup­port­ing calls for a high lev­el Com­mis­sion of Inquiry into the Police’s Spe­cial Inves­ti­ga­tion Group.
