Tribunal | Lloyds' disciplinary action over employees' anti-Israel posts was 'heavy handed' - but not discrimination

Lloyds Banking Group did not discriminate on religious or political grounds after punishing two staff members for calling Israel's government “evil,” a tribunal has ruled.

Following their "ill-judged" comments about Israel, Afra Sohail and Aunngbeen Khalid were given final disciplinary warnings for their conduct and reported to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for gross misconduct.
