Sacked Bullard wants his day in court - 9 May
Sacked Sunday Times columnist David Bullard is determined to
have his day in court and that day will come on June 22. That's when
he will take on publishing company Avusa in a fight to get his job
back. Speaking to the Saturday Star this week, Bullard said
he would not settle out-of-court because he wants "to air the
Sunday Times' laundry". "June 22 is a Monday and Mondays are
wash days. I will be airing all their dirty laundry in court. I've
worked there for 14 years. I know what goes on there. It will show
how dysfunctional it is," he said, alluding to shenanigans among
senior staff members. In Labour Court papers, Bullard claims he was
unfairly dismissed and will be asking Avusa, owner of the Sunday
Times, for full reinstatement. He says his contract stipulated
30 days' notice from either party and the letter he had received
from Avusa after he was fired contained those conditions. But Avusa
in its replying papers contends that Bullard was an independent
contractor and was charged R1 500 a month
for using company resources. -
