‘Association’ | Worker unfairly sacked after wife attempted to kill boss with hammer, tribunal rules

An ambulance trust was wrong to sack a worker after her wife attempted to kill their manager over an argument about shifts, a tribunal has found.

Paula Smith and her then-wife, Stacey Smith, both worked for the North West Ambulance Service Trust (NWAS) and had a long-standing dispute with operations manager Michala Morton over their work schedules.
