'Send them all back' | Tribunal rules Salvation Army worker fairly dismissed over refugee comments

A Salvation Army support worker who told colleagues that refugees should be sent back “on a f*****g boat” was fairly dismissed for gross misconduct, an employment tribunal has ruled.

The tribunal found that the comments were “inflammatory, offensive and is considered racist”, and that dismissing the employee fell within the range of reasonable responses open to the charity, given his role supporting refugees and other vulnerable people.
