GGCA accuses Unite of trying to poach Bus Company members

The GGCA has accused Unite of trying to poach its members in the Gibraltar Bus Company.

The union's president, Darren Cerisola, claims Unite invited GGCA members to a meeting after having previously denied they would do so.

Last year, GBC reported that bus company members had defected from Unite to the GGCA, which then gained negotiating rights.

Christina Cortes spoke to Mr Cerisola.

In response to the accusation of poaching, Unite's Stuart Davies told GBC he thought this was 'a bit of a distraction' on part of the GGCA. 

Mr Davies said he doesn't want the members of Gibraltar Bus Company Ltd to be 'caught in the crossfire' of this issue.

He added there are some very genuine issues within the GBCL that need resolution, and that should be the priority.
