DISMISSAL AND RACE DISCRIMINATION CASE
Hi, it’s Deborah and Euzi
In a recent Employment Tribunal case of first instance unfair dismissal and race discrimination case the employment tribunal decided that the employee did not have reasonable expectation of privacy over private Facebook posts. Ms. Webb was dismissed by London Underground for posting offensive comments about George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement on her private Facebook page. Her Facebook page listed London Underground as her employer, and many of her Facebook 'friends' were London Underground staff. The posts she made were captioned and circulated more widely on Twitter - colleagues complained about her posts, and they also came to the attention of the Commissioner for Transport for London.
If you would like to know more about this case, go to:
