Racism accusations are ten-a-penny, these days
Ambulance driver who sued after someone said ’10 a penny’ loses case
A black ambulance driver has had his claim for racism rejected after he alleged that the phrase ‘ten a penny’ was related to slavery
Matthew Johnson told his boss Dan Price that he would be going on a month-long honeymoon shortly after taking the job in 2018.Mr Price, who is white, was not pleased at hearing this and said words to the effect that he ‘would not have employed’ him if he had known this and used the expression ‘ten a penny’ to refer to drivers like him.
The case was heard at an employment tribunal in Watford, London, where Mr Johnson also alleged other instances of racial discrimination.
He said he was drug tested twice after incidents involving patients when neither of his crewmates had been.
In addition, he said that he drove a Porsche and his boss said to him he ‘must be a drug dealer to be able to afford a car like that’.
Regarding the Porsche remark, the tribunal heard it was made after Mr Price and another senior figure told Mr Johnson that he couldn’t park his car across two parking spaces in the company car park.
On a visit to a patient’s home, an incident with a wheelchair resulted in a colleague being concussed and Mr Johnson was disciplined, the tribunal was told.In January 2020 Mr Johnson issued a grievance about his treatment complaining that he had been discriminated against in relation to these two incidents by being drug tested by the company twice when neither of his crew-mates had been – when he said they had been the ones ‘responsible’.
In dismissing the case, Mr Johnson was ordered by the tribunal to pay £1200 towards DHL’s costs.
