Unite takes oil firm Ineos to court over data release
Union says the 'bullying' firm refused to hand over information held on union officials

Bullying oil firm Ineos is being taken to court by Unite for refusing to hand over emails and data relating to union officials.

The High Court action was initiated by Unite after Ineos leaked confidential emails to the Sunday Times and other newspapers during last year’s Grangemouth dispute.

Unite is demanding that Ineos turn over all information held on union officials under the Data Protection Act, which Unite says Ineos and its PR companies Media Zoo and Portcullis are refusing to comply with.
