Fire brigade worker sacked over Tesco queue-jumping row wins unfair dismissal claim
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Ryan Shearwood, a hydrant technician with the London Fire Brigade, had been purchasing his lunch at the Pinner Green branch when he entered a confrontation with the woman. She later complained to the LFB that she had been physically assaulted by one of their employees, and that she had been shoved to the ground. He denied the accusation, and claimed that he had extended his elbow to the side to defend himself after she barged past him."
Coverage includes reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigative work into the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC, and a documentary titled 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Journalism is offered without paywalls and relies on donations and support from those who can afford it. A London Fire Brigade hydrant technician, Ryan Shearwood, was accused of shoulder-barging a female shopper to the floor at a Pinner Green Tesco in October 2022. He denied the allegation, saying he extended his elbow to defend himself. An LFB investigation led to his dismissal for misconduct, but a tribunal found the dismissal unfair and he is in line for compensation.
