Council workers jobless after challenging colleague who said asylum-seekers ‘should be shot’, GMB says

COUNCIL workers who challenged a colleague for saying asylum-seekers “should be shot” have lost their jobs, their union said today.

It criticised the authority’s response to staff complaints over a temporary worker’s remarks which they felt were “racist, homophobic, transphobic and anti-immigrant.”
