A double decker London bus driver who was unfairly sacked from his job after developing diabetes has been awarded almost ?60,000 in damages.
Father-of-three David Hoggett was fired to make way for 'cheaper Polish drivers at half the cost', his solicitor claimed after winning the tribunal.
The 58-year-old had worked under Abellio London Limited - the firm employed to provide drivers for the famous red buses in the city and parts of Surrey.
He claimed sick pay when he was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and took several months to respond to Vitamin D medication last summer.
But bosses at Abellio sacked him on 'medical grounds of capability'.
