A test case for the rights of key workers during the COVID-19 pandemic
O’Sullivan, 57, was sacked on February 3, after he sounded the alarm over the spread of infections at Cricklewood bus garage. The rate of fatalities among London bus drivers is three times the national average, with the families of those killed demanding answers.
A London transport worker for three decades, O’Sullivan was suspended on January 11 after citing his rights to a safe workplace under Section 44 of the Employment Rights Act. Up to 12 drivers, a manager and a Unite health and safety rep had been infected with COVID-19, according to information leaked to the London Bus Rank-and-File Committee in early January. It has since been revealed through Freedom of Information that 46 Cricklewood employees were infected with COVID-19 between October 2020 and mid-January this year.
