/Hebrides Haulage has been ordered to pay £650 compensation to a driver made redundant from its Glasgow depot, after an industrial tribunal decided that his dismissal had been unfair.
The Glasgow tribunal was told that Martin Coull had been employed as a Class II driver by the firm since May 1988. Business had been unsatisfactory for some time up to January and it was decided that one of the Glasgow drivers had to go, Partner John MacDonald said that as well as Coull, there was a John Bower at the Glasgow depot, who had started about four weeks after Coull, and driver James Leitch, who was working under an employment training scheme.
The tribunal concluded that if the circumstances had been properly investigated Coull might well not have been dismissed.
