HE'S AN INNOCENT MAN!!Trucker who relieved bowels in loading bay loses WRC case
Driver had alleged disability discrimination on grounds he had peptic ulcerwww.irishtimes.com
In rejecting a disability discrimination claim by the driver, Edward Riordan, against his former employer, All-Star Logistics Ltd, the tribunal made no finding on a dispute in evidence on the firmness of the stool discovered in the loading bay.
...
The doctor’s note was challenged by the company in legal submissions, with its representative, Ellen Walsh of Peninsula Business Services, arguing that the firmness of the stool discovered by one of Mr Riordan’s colleagues was inconsistent with diarrhoea.
“As far as I was concerned, it was diarrhoea,” Mr Riordan said when it was put to him.
When Ms Walsh put to him that his colleague found “solid excrement” in the loading dock he said: “I thought it would be washed away in 20 minutes. Is her word to be taken over mine?”
Questioned further on why he did not use tissues he had in a bag in the cab of the lorry to clean up, he said: “I couldn’t pick that up with tissues, in fairness, in a thunderstorm.”
