Grizzled Sharon Shoesmith, the former boss of childrens services at Harringay council has filed a claim at the employment tribunal for wrongful dismissal as predicted in the previous News Rage UK article, Guaranteed Wrongful Dismissal in Harringay . The thing that makes me mad here is that we know the outcome and we can start to predict the tabloid headlines already.
The fact is, Balls went in like Schwartznegger, in character on a revenge spree and sacked her in a flash. I can't pretend that I don't agree with what he did because I do...and he should have the power to do what he did in the circumstances, however there are procedures that need to be followed when you sack someone, anyone with whom you have given a contract of employment and I would be very surprised if they were followed.
Wronfully or rightly she was lynched and the law has developed to prevent lynchings in the workplace, in fact mostly courtesy of the Labour Party themselves. I would be surprised if she doesn't walk away with a nice sum as a result and again the rights of Baby P will be ignored.
