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.
