Re: Drivers and guards to be sacked.

[David Bradshaw <davidbradshaw@my-deja.com>]

I doubt anyone will be sacked for a once-off failure to wear a tie. The
original message mentioned counselling followed by a warning. The
reasonable wearing of a uniform in this case is a reasonable direction
from management, and if an employee fails to heed multiple warnings then
some form of more concrete discipline may be what is needed. Perhaps not
sacking at first, though concrete yes.

Regards, David.
