The Marks & Spencer whistleblower, Tony Goode, who informed The Times that the retailer planned to change its redundancy terms, now says the company places staff under surveillance. Mr Goode, who revealed his identity at the TUC conference in Brighton this morning, said there was a culture of fear among employees who were too scared to speak out. The GMB is now representing the whistleblower who has been sacked. M&S dismisses his claims as nonsense and says that the union in exploiting the case. In response, Paul Kenny, GMB general secretary, said:
“That’s what we do – we represent workers, we don't sell underpants.”
