Brighton have been urged to reinstate three members of staff sacked for allegedly leaking team news on social media by the employees' union. GMB represents the club's ground-staff team and has accused Brighton of failing to follow any due employment processes to wrongfully dismiss staff without a hearing or right to appeal. The sackings came after prolonged investigations of all the ground staff working at the club's Lancing training facility. Mark Turner, GMB branch secretary said: "The club may have retained Premier League status this year but it seems that it provides its hard-working staff Sunday League employment rights. "No evidence has been found or presented by the club during this near thee month investigation which links our members to the supposed social media team leaks, yet they today summarily dismiss our members without notice.
