Jamie McNamee faced false allegations at work, which his union believe were as a direct result of him speaking about the crisis
A whistleblower who highlighted major failings in the Scottish Ambulance Service has hit out after he was threatened with the sack.
Speaking for the first time about his ordeal, Jamie told the Daily Record: “During the process it became clear that these false statements had been put forward in an attempt to have me disciplined as a gross misconduct case. This would have in all likelihood resulted in dismissal from the service due to the seriousness of these allegations.
Pat Rafferty, Unite Scottish Secretary, said Jamie had been targeted due to his outspoken comments on the crisis within the ambulance service. Rafferty added that the way Jamie had been treated was “absolutely shocking and disgraceful”. Top news stories today "The Scottish Government must launch an urgent review of the service, which is being mismanaged from the very top. It simply is not fit for purpose.
It came as a worker said she was “concerned for my own health and wellbeing and that of my fellow colleagues”. She asked not to be identified fearing she would be sacked. However, Unite is pursuing a claim against the SAS over his treatment. A case for personal injury and workplace ill treatment will be taken through the Employment Tribunal process.
