Neil Smith, GMB political officer, said “GMB is involved in a number of campaigns for justice for people who have suffered as a consequence of powerful forces thinking they are above the law. We have lined up speakers involved with the different campaigns. It is now time to try to join the dots in these different campaigns for justice.
