of its drivers who :laimed unfair dismissal after he vas sacked for refusing to submit o a personal search. Graham Bird, regional officer at the United RoadTransport Union, says he is "surprised" that the Glasgow tribunal found against John Watson.
Watson was working out of the then Safeway depot at Bellshill when he was asked to undergo a security search last October.
"He was told this would involve opening his bags, which he was happy with." says Bird."However, when he was informed that he would have to be frisked as well, he refused!'
Watson was suspended for refusing to comply with Salvesen'ssearchprocedures as this broke his contract of employment. Two weeks later he was dismissed. "We will read the result of the tribunal closely to ascertain how we lost," Bird concludes.
