DISMISSAL – PETRIT MIHAJ, SODEXO

Employment Tribunal Victory – Ruling that Petrit Mihaj was automatically unfairly dismissed for his Trade Union activities

The Employment Tribunal Case for Petrit Mihaj v. Sodexo was heard last week and the Union was successful as the judge ruled that Brother Mihaj had been automatically unfairly dismissed by Sodexo due to his trade union activities.

The ruling also pointed out numerous failings by the Company during the investigation and suspension leading to this unfair dismissal and a lack of action from the Company regarding problems which Brother Mihaj had raised previously.

Members will shortly be receiving ballot papers for this dispute and although we have won a victory in court, we must show the Company that you are not prepared to allow this victimisation to happen again. It is becoming more common where management try to get rid of your dedicated and loyal trade union representatives and activists which is a situation we find completely unacceptable.

I urge all members to use their vote and VOTE ‘YES’ FOR STRIKE ACTION & ‘YES’ FOR INDUSTRIAL ACTION SHORT OF A STRIKE in the continuing fight against unfair and unjust treatment of your reps and activists. Please make sure you return your voting paper no later than Tuesday 8th July 2014.

UNITY IS STRENGTH
VOTE ‘YES’ FOR STRIKE ACTION &
‘YES’ FOR INDUSTRIAL ACTION SHORT OF STRIKE ACTION
