The Road Haulage Association has won its recent unfair dismissal claim.

This was brought by one of the twelve staff that were made redundant in the Summer of 2009 following the restructuring, reorganisation and relocation of the Association’s accounts and marketing functions from its Weybridge office to Peterborough.

The Tribunal found unanimously in favour of the RHA, stating that the redundancy was genuine, and that all statutory dismissal and redundancy procedures were all properly followed and adhered to.

RHA Chief Executive Geoff Dunning said: “We are delighted that our actions have been exonerated.  We were entitled to make the changes necessary for the efficacy of our business and make staff redundant, and did so in the rightful, legal and proper manner.”
