An assembly worker for BMW has been awarded £17,000 in compensation after getting sacked for going to Burger King during his shift.
Ryan Parkinson worked as an operative on the assembly line at a BMW factory in Oxford when he was alleged to have "disappeared" for nearly an hour while working overtime.
Mr Parkinson apparently did not tell his superiors that he was leaving, something that he disputes, and was sacked following a disciplinary investigation into the incident.
