Councillor says recent tribunal is proof bad practice can be challenged
A local authority member has come out in support of unions after a worker won a recent employment tribunal.
Douglas councillor Devon Watson claims the case shows poor employment practices can be challenged.
Legal action can often cost thousands of pounds.
Mr Watson says that can sometimes discourage staff from getting justice:
Island-based Strix factory to close
Ramsey operations to transfer to China plant
'Massive chef shortage' on the Island
Eateries closing on several days due to lack of staff
