Yunus Bakhsh case raised in parliament

Fantastic news that Yunus's case is being raised in Parliament, it is a disgrace that his employer has refused to obey the judges reinstatement award and that the anti union laws allow them to do so.

Its frankly disgusting that unison are still not supporting Yunus.

Thanks to John McDonnell MP for giving this the publicity that it needs.

Please lobby your MP to sign the EDM text below:

That this House congratulates Mr Yunus Bakhsh on securing reinstatement after his unfair dismissal by the Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Trust; notes that Mr Bakhsh was a long-serving nurse and trade union representative whose unfair dismissal was found to bea result of trade union victimisation and disability discrimination; deplores the refusal of the Trust to agree to Mr Bakhsh's reinstatement in line with the order of the Employment Tribunal; further notes that Mr Bakhsh incurred considerable expense arranging legal representation and calls on the Trust to pay his legal costs; and further calls on the Secretary of State for Health to investigate the conduct of the case by the Trust and the expenditure of hundreds and thousands of pounds of public money in a failed attempt to justify the victimisation of a trade union official.
