[填空题]Overwork
In November 1994 a social worker made legal history when a High Court judge held his employer liable for a nervous breakdown which ended his career.. UNISON member, John Walker, 57, is the first employee in Britain to sue an employer successfully for stress from overwork.
Mr Justice Colman ruled that Northumberland County Council was liable for damages because of its unreasonable failure to provide a safe system of work. UNISON is seeking a ￡ 200,000 compensation settlement for Mr Walker, who said his employer had subjected him to "an impossible work- load". Northumberland Council says it intends to appeal the judgement.
