GMB refers Metropolitan Police to Information Commission for stalling on blacklisting request
THE MET Police have been referred to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) for blocking GMB’s “quest for the truth” over the blacklisting of trade unionists.
GMB said the Met had ignored its Freedom of Information Act request since April, which demanded the force’s full report into its role in the blacklisting of more than 3,000 construction workers.
The union also asked for all emails relating to the report and details of overt and covert meetings between officers and members of blacklisting organisations.
