A MAN has told how he was left homeless and drowning in £20k of debt after being unfairly fired from his job at a Glasgow restaurant.
The restaurant boss fired Gerry after claiming he had shouted and acted in a threatening and intimidating manner – allegations that were later thrown out by an employment tribunal. During the legal battle, Gerry appeared at the tribunal to give evidence, with nobody appearing on behalf of his former employer, a factor which the ruling judge later said had influenced the final decision.
The tribunal was told that days later Gerry was sent a letter headed ‘confirming suspension and continuing investigation’ that outlined how the firm was probing allegations of threatening behaviour – as well as claim by the manager he had exchanged words with that Gerry had ‘exerted bullying behaviour’.The hearing was also told how other employees were quizzed for their version of events with none saying they believed the former cleaner had acted in a threatening or bullying way.
The judge’s ruling, which has been viewed by the Glasgow Times, describes the sacked worker as a ‘completely credible witness’. It also noted the firm’s failure to communicate or represent at anyof the hearing, as well as the lack of corroboration for any claims the 47-year-old had ‘bullied or threatened’ his boss.He said: “It is something and I’m grateful to be earning again, but I’ve no idea how I’ll get my finances back on an even keel.
