Tribunal for sacked worker in e-cigarette case

We wrote a blog recently on the sacking of an employee after he was found to be vaping at work. Paul Scott of Carshalton was fired from the waste disposal company  where he worked but insists that Viridor, his employer, had no electronic cigarette policy in place. His co-workers threatened to strike in support of Paul.

His case is now to go to an Employment Tribunal thought to be the first of its kind. The outcome could change the way e-cigarettes are seen in the workplace.

We hope that common sense prevails and Paul wins his case and is reinstated.
