Good news from the Employment Tribunal, as RMT lands a punch back on London Underground management, winning the interim relief application for Eamonn Lynch.
Bakerloo driver and RMT health & safety rep Eamonn was sacked for a driving error, even though drivers making similar errors had got warnings. The ET judge areed with RMT that Eamonn was likely to win the full Tribunal alleging unfair dismissal and discrimination on the grounds of trade union activity. LU now has to pay Eamonn his wages until the full Tribunal. Or, the company could swallow its pride, admit defeat, and give Eamonn his job back.
