Dismissal For Private Tweets

Dismissal for gross misconduct by an employer where an employee has posted offensive  tweets on their private Twitter account was backed by the Employment Appeals Tribunal (Mr. Laws ./. Game Retail Ltd.). The EAT did not  believe that the employee in this case could ever have considered his offensive tweets to be  private, given that he knew that he was followed by many co-employees by their Twitter  accounts which again were followed by customers of the employer.
