CBI boss Tony Danker sacked over 'conduct at work'
The director-general of the Confederation of British Industry, Tony Danker, has said he was"shocked" to learn of his sacking following an independent investigation into complaints of workplace misconduct against him."I recognise the intense publicity the CBI has suffered following the revelations of awful events that occurred before my time in office. I was appalled to learn about them for the first time last week," the tweets said.
"I was nevertheless shocked to learn this morning that I had been dismissed from the CBI, instead of being invited to put my position forward as was originally confirmed. Many of the allegations against me have been distorted, but I recognise that I unintentionally made a number of colleagues feel uncomfortable and I am truly sorry about that."
Three other CBI employees have also been suspended pending further investigation into a number of ongoing allegations.Jürgen Maier has said businesses need to look within to make sure inappropriate behaviour cannot be going on. "It is already clear to all of us that there have been serious failings in how we have acted as an organisation. We must do better, and we must be better," a CBI statement read.
"We apologise to the victims of this organisational failure, including those impacted by the revulsion we have all felt at hearing their stories. Nobody should feel unsafe in their workplace."
