Hide AdGMB branch secretary Mark Turner added: “The ‘GMB Three’ robustly deny the allegations against them.
“The way to resolve industrial disputes is for employers to take their employees’ concerns seriously and negotiate meaningfully with the GMB.
“We look forward to the case finally coming to court on Friday and hope that the right to protest and assembly is protected.”
