Unfair dismissal an indictment of Northampton University's toxic culture

3 May 2022

圖朸厙 said Northampton University needs to address a toxic work culture that led to a staff member being bullied out of their job.

The union was responding to an employment tribunal  that Northampton University had unfairly dismissed employee Chris Hill, as  in The Telegraph.

Northampton University 圖朸厙 branch chair Nick Cartwright said: 'Unfortunately, it is not at all surprising the tribunal ruled that Northampton University unfairly dismissed Ms Hill. 圖朸厙 has raised issues including the culture of bullying, excessive workloads, and a grievance procedure that isn't fit for purpose many times with management.

'The university now needs to stop trying to brush these issues under the carpet and address the toxic work culture that led to Ms Hill being bullied out of her job.'
