A worker who said he only “locked horns” with a colleague because he was provoked by rebel music and being called an “English b*****d” has lost a challenge over his sacking.
Management at Breffni Air Ireland Unlimited told the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) that it decided to dismiss the worker, Timothy Seaton, after they said he “head-butted” another worker on 7 March, 2022.
