GMB win at legal quango

The GMB general union has won recognition at the newly formed Legal Aid Agency, which comes under the aegis of the Ministry of Justice (MOJ). It will now join the other recognised unions at the MOJ including PCS and the FDA.

GMB national officer Sharon Holder welcomed the agreement but said: “This process has been far from simple. The decision to grant GMB recognition has felt at times like being in battle with the MOJ.”
