Whistleblowers defend safety

Daily Hazard, n80 , Feb 2004

pdf version (what's that?)

Greg Tucker, Sarah Friday and Laurie Holden have first hand experience of the employment tribunal system. All are railway union reps fired or downgraded for defending health and safety after privatisation. All eventually won tribunal cases, though not all got their jobs back. Their employers were denounced in the strongest terms by tribunals, but they had to wait two or three years for this verdict. They tell their story in the Centre's new booklet, Victimised Whistleblowers - a trade union perspective. Read this and you'll see how railway management has become a disaster area, and why safety reps are the vital line of defence.

Victimised Whistleblowers is £1 from the Centre, and online at www.workplacevictimisation.net or via www.lhc.org.uk
