Harassment probe | Worker sacked after discussing his sex life in graphic detail

A worker lost his job after admitting discussing his sex life in graphic detail and calling colleagues “f***ing idiots”, an investigation heard.

Lindsay Swift’s behaviour was ‘tolerated’ by some managers at Highland Pine Products in New South Wales, according to a report by the Fair Work Commission (FCW). But the electrician was sacked in January 2023 for serious misconduct after allegations of sexual harassment were made against him.

Details came to light in an FWC report after Swift raised claims of unfair dismissal.

The FWC outlined several claims against Swift, some he admitted and some he denied.
