WHEN AN Edinburgh 1 driver refused to go Birmingham to pick up a 11 he was dismissed. But an dustrial tribunal has decil that the action taken by SI Packing and WarehousinE Edinburgh, was unfair, ordered the company to £872 compensation to Stepl McEwan.
The tribunal heard that November 17, Mr McEv was told by a foreman that would have to drive Birmingham, pick up a lc stay overnight and drive Ix Mr McEwan refused, claim he wanted to stay at he because his wife was ill. assistant foreman carried the job, and Mr McEwan dismissed.
The tribunal said: 'fl company virtually accep that it was entitled to reqi Mr McEwan to do Birmingham job and s away for the night. That it mean that it thought there 1 a mandatory element of ol time in the contract. Ther no such reflection in the vo ten terms and particulars contract.
"It is our view that company was not entitled order Mr McEwan to s away overnight, and it me ably follows that it was entitled to discipline him his refusal. The refusal did appear to have been the re: of a mere whim. We animously found Mr McEv was unfairly dismissed."
