I'll give the BBC the benefit of the doubt that they checked this quote:

"The employment tribunal has ruled today that Mr Thomas should have been
disciplined for his actions and that his dismissal was in no way due to
his activities as a union member."

But that was a quote of what LU said.

I still contest that they could have easily (wrongly) inferred the second
half out of things that the tribunal did not say, rather than what they
did

Why don't you look it up and see? I'm content that the BBC's lawyers
wouldn't allow a massive misstatement (even from a 3rd party) and also
point at an apparent lack of challenge or retraction.

You're joking of course :-(

LUL would be ill advised to misquote the tribunal to that extent as well.

Where did they say that they were quoting the tribunal. They were putting
their own spin on it as all PR agents do.

Anyway, the driver is reinstated, and the strikes called off.

So I see
