postman sacked????????

The whole carry on reeks of PC gone bad. If people dont want to speak to others then that shouldnt be held against them. As for the banter and ripping of collegues its normal and if they applied this where I work half the factory and most off the office based staff would have been dismissed over the years. We have multiple races and cultures and they all give as good as they get without any animosity or moaning. If it was as serious as they are trying to make out then why didnt they do something about it without all this palavour thats shown its face. If people want a job that has no humour or lght heartedness during the working day they had better apply for a job as a Whitehall civil servent.
 
So does this mean the kumars on the TV will be banned as they take the mick slightly out of their own culture?
 
There is a fine line between what some people might consider having a laugh, and bullying.

You'd have thought he'd have had more sense after the first warning.
 
Do you reckon I can sue Michael Jackson for imitating a white man - and his doctors for aiding and abetting by making his skin white?
 
Neal - yeah kumars shud b taken off and taken to the land of the free - wahay its in america!! *L*

i think its stupid but i dont think the underlyin cause was perhaps the mimicing. maybe there was more to it but in the end when push come to shove they felt they had to sack him rather than keepin him on and him becoming a liability to the place

he told me that the other bloke had only just arrived from pakistan and they had been making fun of his accent and his habits.

I wonder how they check that such a person is not a sexual predator?
Then again, he is working in Hyndburn so they probably wont have checked.:mad:
 
Do feel a little more to this than mere teasing... gosh, I tease my Lebonese colleague all the time for his accent ... I should be so cheeky .. the guy speaks four languages for heavens sake ! All in good fun and he loves it ..I HOPE !! Better think twice next time though. :eek:
 
think there has been jokes told over the years with, scottish,irish,welsh,jewish,pakistani,german, and many more (COCKNEY) being one accents, these are not racist,just good crack, seems to me there is far more to this than the telegraph is saying.i worked at some crap firms and good uns, and fail to see how this alone resulted in the guys dismissal.well knowing that unions are weaker than they used to be, i also cannot see how they never got a result if mimicking an accent is all it was.
 
well have read the article in the telegraph and it seems it was for a lot more than just the mimicking ... and he had been warned before about his conduct...there was another postman who was also suspended but he got his job back as he showed remorse as the one that was sacked didn't seem to give two hoots

I knew there had to be more to it
 
I just think its silly because i have a bit of fun with the lad,s who take me to blackburn up to queens park to see the doctours they are coloured lads and i have fun with them and they are like me they take it as a joke
 
It said in Thursday's Telegraph that it wasn't the asian chap who was being mimicked who complained,it was another asian chap who heard it who made the complaint and apparently he has complained before about other people and got them sacked too!
 
The Postmen at Accrington have had two meetings at our club within a week this could lead to a national stike if some common sense is not shown. According to a letter in Fridays Lancashire Telegraph 1/6/07 one of the sacked postmen who the writer names(i wont) Has been "a cheerfull kind considerate postman for17 years and is still considered our postie by those on his round". How can these faceless bureaucrats come to such stupid BNP fueling decisions so lightly, Why do they always take the side of the 'ethnic minority' what ever happened to 'when in Rome' etc, this is such a trivial matter it is beyond belief.
