That 'sicknote' Tube driver

: "Colin" wrote in message ... "Badabing" wrote in message ... ... 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! From what I understand of the nonsense that came out of his mouth is that he was running and playing squash because he thought it would be a good way to test his ankle. Shouldn't his rehab have been overseen more properly by his doctor? And he didn't have any contact with Occupational Health? That I find very hard to belief! ISTR that he didn't want to work for LU anymore and had found a job with the local council and now he wants to go back to LU? He doesn't seem to know what he wants! w |
