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. -
