MORE than a quarter of staff who responded to a GMB survey at South East Coast Ambulance Service (Secam) have felt bullied at work, a new survey found today.

Union GMB surveyed almost 900 members within the service asking about working culture and management spending.

Members raised numerous issues including discrimination towards women staff members, sexual harassment, bullying, staff being scared to speak out and the prevalence of a “boys’ club” culture.
