Default That 'sicknote' Tube driver

someone explain the grounds on which his dismissal was deemed unfair?


The full story is at
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/st...212011,00.html but the gist
of it is that LUL failed to follow the correct procedure for his dismissal.

More specifically they added (ISTR) the charge of "dishonesty" to the list
of reasons between quoted at the appeal when it wasn't quoted in the
original disciplinary hearing. This discrepancy made the case invalid.

The tribunal decided the driver was "75% to blame for his dismissal".

Seems to me that he got off on a technicality
