Peter Clifford RMT activist at Manchester Piccadilly is facing dismissal with no due process.

On Sunday 15th of May he was engaged in conversation by a 'Commercial Director' and asked 'how's it going?'. From this 5 minute conversation Peter has been removed from his position as a TPE Dispatcher, by the sub contractor Carlisle Support Services at the behest of the client TransPennine Express.

TPE allege this request to remove Peter is due to his 'attitude and behaviour'. Following a meeting with Carlisle they have refused a request to allow Peter to return to work. He now faces redeployment to another role, which is not his job, not the job he has done with an unblemished record for 3 years, not the job he applied for. Or dismissal.

There is no due process here, no disciplinary, no attempts at mediation, it is back handed sacking, trying to bust the union and remove activists without any fair hearing.

We demand TPE allow Peter Clifford to return to work at Manchester Piccadilly with immediate effect. We demand Carlisle Support Services take no disciplinary action against Peter.

Unity is Strength!

Solidarity!
