Former CNN'er Wins Unfair Dismissal Case
Source: UK Press Gazette Employment practices at CNN’s London bureau have been condemned by an employment tribunal.Former writer and producer for the rolling news channel Elena Cosentino has won her case for unfair dismissal after the tribunal ruled that CNN was wrong to insist that she worked nights. Consentino was made redundant in April 2004 after four years in her job.
She argued that the death of her fiance in a motorbike accident had left her with serious medical problems and unable to work nights. Cosentino was seeking £190,000 in damages and the tribunal is expected to make a ruling on the size of the award in the next few weeks.
UPDATE: MediaChannel has alot more details of the tribunal.
