If they are covered by a sick note, I didn't think there was anything you
could do. The doctor has signed them off not to come back to work.
Imo I think I would wander over and ask how they are today ?

You're a manager; you see an employee on sick leave leaving a leisure
centre with a squash racquet in his hand; that person has a history of
unusual levels of sickness absence and has already received verbal and
written warnings; and you sack them. What could you, or should you have
done differently?

But the press didn't just "catch her out", they went on to print
sensitive
details (obtained from the clinic) about her treatment.
In the LU case, they didn't just detail why they sacked the man, they
went on
to give details of previous (unrelated) sickness. Many people have
absences
that affect the public in various ways - local government, police, and
so on.
Strikes are called for a variety of reasons - maybe the RMT were to
blame,
rather than the individual.
Perhaps we should now find out the name of the HR manager who unfairly
sacked
him and caused all this disruption in the first place, along with
details of
any other sackings he is responsible for.
