On page 51 of her Report Ms Monaghan repeats her damning charge: “The GMB is a very masculine organisation in which misogyny, sexual harassment, bullying and cronyism are endemic.” The working environment within this appalling organisation can be poisonous and “horrible” where meetings can be held in an “aggressive” and “testosterone fuelled” way, and a bully-boy atmosphere prevails.
