... the one who was caught playing squash while on sick leave. Can

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


Briefly read a story along the lines of he proved (to the satisfaction of
the tribunal) that his physical therapist had drawn up a plan for his
recovery which included playing squash to strengthen his (foot?).

LUL had not taken this evidence into account when they dismissed him, and
had unfairly concluded that he had been throwing a sickie on the basis

that
their investigator 'caught' him outside a leisure centre.

In addition to this, the RMT claim that someone in LUL then leaked his
medical records to the press when the strike was threatened, which is a
breach of confidentiality.

Just reporting what I read.......



If you go to www.bbc.co.uk/radio2 , to the 'Listen Again' section, you can
hear him speaking to Jeremy Vine on today's programme. This should be
available to listen to (and laugh at!) until Wednesday lunchtime. He got
quite a pasting from callers!
