Snippo

I don't care what anyone says, doctors note or not, there is no
way someone can be well enough to play squash but be unable to
push a few buttons on a train, or perform lesser duties for a
while if necessary.


Snippo again


I don't think anyone can really comment without knowing what's meant
to have been wrong with this person and what is supposed to help them
get better.


Are we being told the full story here?
Apparently the guy was seen leaving a squash club - Am I missing something
or was he actually seen playing squash? Maybe it's another trial by
media as opposed to the system that uses the word justice - possibly
using the words "innocent until proven guilty/ otherwise".
If his actions were within the guidelines given to him by his doctor then he
should be O.K., if not then he should close the door behind him as he
leaves.
Admittedly I don't use LU in the same way that others do but I am left
wondering what some other readers of this NG would do if the finger was
pointing at them and they felt they had done nothing wrong (and no, I don't
belong to a union).
Maybe LU can pull it off and run the system with no union involvment
whatsoever.

(Maybe the disgruntled customers who think it's .OK. to spit at staff will
be surprised when the staff spit back.)

Maybe, maybe, ...

Have a nice day ...
