The UK Supreme Court has ruled (here) in favour of a former employee of the Royal Mail postal group who felt that she was dismissed for reporting poor practice on the part of a colleague. For human resources experts in the UK, this unprecedented decision extends the protection of so-called ‘whistleblowers’ and will require companies to be more vigilant.
The complainant, Kamaljeet Jhuti, worked in the postal marketing division of Royal Mail between September 2013 and July 2014. She says that her job situation deteriorated after reporting, in an email to her supervisor, the fact that another employee group was not complying with rules set by the sector regulator, Ofcom.
