Case Summary

The Employment Tribunal found that the Respondent's actions were not discriminatory and dismissed all of the Claimants' claims.

The tribunal found that the respondent's disciplinary action (final written warnings for posting about Israel/Palestine on the company's internal platform) was not discriminatory on grounds of religion or belief, and therefore the claimants' discrimination claims were not well-founded.
