The notorious anti-Zionist activist Tony Greenstein has been suspended for three years from the Unison union, just nine months after being expelled from the Labour Party.
Mr Greenstein was expelled from Labour in February over abusive behaviour that included writing blog posts about veteran Jewish Labour MP Louise Ellman as the MP for “Tel Aviv South” and a “racist supporter of the child abuse of Palestinian children”.
He had been accused by Unison of having “broken union rules” and engaging in “disrespectful or intimidating behaviour”.
The allegation stems from articles published by Mr Greenstein in which he attacks a senior Unison official, Steve Terry, over the treatment of Stan Keable, who was dismissed from his job in the union after being filmed in March arguing about the background to the Holocaust and claiming the Zionists had “collaborated” with the Nazis.
