Drunk passenger attack leads to strike

Seriously - anyone who uses violence against customers, no matter how much the customer is a ******, has no place in a customer service job; and anyone who can't see that has no place in a customer service job either. Well done LUL; I hope you stand up to the RMT ******* here... While that may be technically true, to what extent should an employment contract override your basic legal right to defend yourself using a level of force that seems reasonable to you in the light of a perceived threat? It would be rather harsh to have to choose between your job and not getting punched/stabbed/shot, after all. This is LUL, not the SAS. Personally, if the police and CPS don't prosecute him, they presumably think his actions were reasonable, so why don't LUL? Tom# I'm inclined to agree. No CPS action = his actions were reasonable self defence. I don't believe you should ever be discouraged from defending yourself. This thing stinks. -- Mark Varley www.MarkVarleyPhoto.co.uk www.TwistedPhotography.co.uk London, England. |
