When I was a steward I recall an instance of 4 or 5 members leaving work early on a public holiday, employer took decision to go straight to disciplinary and was almost orgasmic when it was discovered the existence of CCTV footage capturing the guys walking out early, into cars and driving off.

A quick word with management to point out their policy permitted cctv only for the purpose of crime prevention and staff safety quickly quelled their enthusiasm. It was also pointed out the manager who went looking for the cctv evidence had no right to view it.

All accusations were dropped and the situation died a death.

You may want to find out if the cctv policy permits third part access.

They might have been that cautious. Most wouldn't be. And walking out of work early, being in your car and driving off is fraud and false accounting if you claim to have stayed in work - both of which are a crime!

You were lucky!

I'm aware of that. I was commenting that he was lucky to get his members off so easily.
