Reinstate Karen Reissmann's Blurbs |
About me:
Karen Reissmann is a mental health nurse from Manchester.
On November 5 2007 she was sacked for bringing her health trust into disrepute.
Her crime was to talk to the media, as a Unison trade union rep, about changes to the service.
She expressed the concerns of the workers she represents, about the the future treatment of the patients they treat.
That was judged to be gross misconduct.
Karen's colleagues are on her side.
During the disciplinary process nearly 700 Unison members took 14 days of strike action in her support.
Now 160 of her closest colleagues are on all-out strike demanding Karen's reinstatement.
