A 34 year old GMB worker, with learning difficulties, has won a record half a million pounds in disability discrimination compensation at Croydon Employment Tribunal.
In a case brought by 24 GMB union members, following a round of redundancies amongst gardeners, the Tribunal made a total award of £1.3 million for various claims including the one above and others for unfair dismissal.
The Tribunal found that the employer, Serviceteam, had not consulted properly, had breached its own equal opportunities policy, and had applied its own redundancy selection criteria in an arbitrary way.
