So, WTF do you have to do to get fired?
Axe attack council worker 'was unfairly sacked'
A convicted murderer who tried to attack a colleague with an axe in an Indian restaurant has won his claim that a council unfairly sacked him over the incident. James Robertson, 50, had worked as a senior health inspector with Preston City Council in Lancashire for 10 years after being released from jail on licence. He had been jailed for kicking a man to death in Glasgow in 1971. But he was dismissed after he went into the Maharajah restaurant in Preston in 1991 brandishing the axe after an argument started with a fellow Town Hall worker. He was later given five years for affray and attempted grievous bodily harm over the fracas. A Manchester employment tribunal upheld Robertson's claim that the council was wrong to sack him without notice. He had also claimed he had not been given a fair disciplinary hearing...... http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_766806.html |
