Vaughan West, Regional organiser of the GMB union said today:
The GMB are obviously concerned if members of staff and/or the public have been exposed to asbestos and would expect any employer and especially a public body such as Brent Council to do everything in its power to demonstrate and reassure its staff and the wider public that their health and safety is the primary concern and issue.
If that means the commissioning of an independent report to reassure people then that is a small price to pay.
