Kirstie had part II of her disciplinary hearing and grievance on Friday 14th May. Unfortunately we weren't told the outcome straight away. Kirstie has been informed the panel have up to 14 days to respond, but hoped they would be writing to her by the end of the week.

Solidarity with @KirstiePaton @DefendReps @DefendPaton Kirstie (correctly!) questioned the reliability of lateral flow tests. Kirstie was suspended for carrying out her TU duty! Every worker needs a union. Every union needs its reps. #IAmKirstiePaton https://t.co/aYUSE7cbYG
