SENATOR Stuart Syvret is a bully who picks on and harasses States employees, according to an independent report published today.The report, by a UK employment judge, says that the States Employment Board have not taken a tough enough stance to defend employees from harassment through the Senator’s blog and by email, and that some have suffered ill-health as a result.
The judge says that he was shocked by the material on the blog and that if the Senator had been an ordinary employee, he would risk being sacked for gross misconduct. The judge added that the employees being harassed would have a good case for unfair dismissal against the States if they quit.
In his blog, the Senator has accused a number of States staff – some by name – of dishonesty, paedophilia, criminal acts, incompetence and cover-ups. The allegations mainly relate to staff who used to work for Senator Syvret when he was in charge of the Health Department.
