Cinema couple unfairly dismissed
A couple have won a claim for unfair dismissal after they were forced to resign as cinema managers after their relationship
became public. The couple were told by their bosses to either split up, resign, or transfer to another cinema. The couple
went off work with stress-related illness, and then resigned after their company sick pay was withheld. A tribunal found that
they had been unfairly and constructively dismissed.
