Lock gets sacked for asking for a ticket?

Her union said she was the victim of an assault by a member of the public angry at being challenged over a ticket.

SHOOT: I wonder if the person in question had a ticket?

clipped from www.independent.co.uk Ms Lock, a member of the company's revenue team, was sacked following an incident at a ticket barrier at which the RMT said she was the actual victim rather than the aggressor. General secretary Bob Crow said: "With the train companies turning up the pressure for more and harsher penalty fares they are putting more and more staff at the risk of assault of the kind suffered by Rachel Lock. "It's a scandal that, instead of supporting their member of staff in this traumatic situation, they have chosen instead to sack her. "We will not tolerate a situation where RMT members on revenue teams are treated in this callous and brutal way and we are determined to secure a just outcome for Rachel Lock that protects not just her livelihood, but sends out a clear signal on behalf of other revenue staff running the daily risk of assault."
