Metroline told a tribunal the driver's use of force was "excessive" after the thief, who was shown on CCTV to have thrown the first punch, was knocked unconscious.

The IWGB now plans to move forward with legal claims against the company asserting that the firings "constitute trade union victimization and blacklisting."
