UK tribunal dismisses Tempur worker's discrimination and whistleblowing claims
Ruling
An employment tribunal in Reading dismissed Lee Hardy's claims of constructive dismissal, disability discrimination, harassment, and whistleblowing detriments against Tempur UK. Judge Andrew Gumbiti-Zimuto found there was no repudiatory breach of contract and that Hardy more likely resigned to take up employment with Julia's House.
