TSSA union’s future in doubt after Helena Kennedy inquiry uncovers unchecked sexist behaviour and leadership failings
Women working at a transport union were subjected to sexual assaults, inappropriate and sexual touching and coercive and manipulative behaviour over many years, a damning inquiry has concluded.
Helena Kennedy’s investigation into sexual harassment and leadership at the TSSA union has called for a tight-knit group of four senior figures to leave the organisation, saying they had “enabled [sexist] behaviours through wilful blindness, power hoarding and poor practices”.
