Peter Hartshorn Reinstated

RMT General Grades Committee decision, 10 February:

That we welcome the reinstatement on appeal of Brother Hartshorn. We congratulate Peter, his representative, his workmates, his branch, and all others who supported him in his successful fight for reinstatement.

That we do not accept the charges made against Brother Hartshorn nor the disciplinary sanction against him, but we note that he does not wish to pursue this matter. He continues, however, to pursue a separate matter of disciplinary sanction under the Attendance at Work policy, and will continue to receive the full support of this union in doing so.

We merge this file with the file entitled VICTIMISATION OF REPS AND ACTIVISTS – LUL.
