Reports emerged yesterday that a temp had "punched out" his team leader at a Morley warehouse. Team Leader X, described by employees as a "cocky gobshite" was said to have been "bleeding" profusely and "bawling like a baby".
Temp Y "lost his temper" half-an-hour after the official end of the Thursday shift, as the temps hurried to finish their work. Most of the management and workforce had already left for the Easter break. At this time Team Leader X approached Temp Y, threw a cloth and spray bottle of own-brand detergent in his direction, and ordered him to "clean the tables".
Temp Y defends his violent reaction, stating "I'm contracted to do order picking. Someone else is contracted to do cleaning". Furthermore he accuses Team Leader X of "sitting around on his arse all day", in which case, "why couldn't he clean the fucking tables?". However, Temp Y believes that violence could have been avoided, had Team Leader X troubled to address him "respectfully" and not "treated me like a soft piece of shit".
Temp Y will not be returning to the warehouse. It is not known if there will be legal proceedings, we will keep you posted.
