Three employees within the home care service in Kinda municipality were laid off during the summer after commenting on a post on Facebook, reports Corren. The employees have now gotten their jobs back.

The three employees commented on a post where a relative of a user had, among other things, accused the home care service of theft.

They were then suspended from work and later received the message that they had been dismissed with immediate effect, with reference to the fact that the employees had violated the secrecy legislation. The municipality has now repealed the decision after it emerged that no trade union negotiations were held.

We from the municipality's side have made a formal error in the process, and we will review our routines to ensure that it cannot happen again, says Emma Rosén to Corren.
