Marlborough wine company sacked worker who helped others prune vines

A man fired for helping other employees at a Marlborough vineyard has received more than $10,000 in compensation. Mount Riley Wines and Estates Limited dismissed the man in 2015 on the grounds he was pruning vines for other workers for personal gain. A written determination from the Employment Relations Authority was released earlier this month, finding the man was unjustifiably dismissed.
