Ofc the guy is the hero. How have we ended in a place where people confronting criminals being punished for that!?!?
The government should review what kind of legislation allowed the tribunal to uphold the dismissal as fair and immediately change the law so that it is clear that no one could be punished for doing the right thing.
News at 11, companies don’t reward people for doing the moral thing.
Ultimately this man’s job is to look after the bus and its passengers. Any property stolen is less important than their safety and his own. He probably had to sign paperwork saying he would not leave the bus unattended.
He left the bus to pursue a criminal. That’s not what the bus company wants him to do, so they fired him.
I don’t think Mark deserved to get fired. I think he’s a good man who tried to do the right thing. But its what businesses are likely to do in this situation. They cover their arse.
