Former board member posted 'salary, salary expectations of prospective employees' - RedPassion.co.uk

From previous statement:

"We must inform members that there have been several breaches of the Board Membership Policy on Social Media from a former WST Board Member. These relate to salary and contractual arrangements with other parties.

The Club/Trust holds a Directors and Officers indemnity policy which protects us if we are subject to a legal action by a third party. For example, a breach of the current GDPR laws.

On the advice of our insurers we have reported ourselves to the ICO (Information Commissioner) as we are legally obliged to do so. The possible outcomes are that the ICO may decide to take no further action or they may fine us for this breach.

The parties who have had their personal information published on social media may decide to take legal action against us. We are duty bound to report these breaches to the affected individuals.

The club’s reputation within the game will be damaged and it may make recruitment more difficult in future. It is a serious issue for the club and especially so at this difficult time when we have other pressures to contend with.

The Board of the WST has discussed this issue and has voted that we are guided by the advice of our insurers. As the club may be subject to legal action we will make no further comment until the issues have been resolved."

In newly released minutes, more detail on this incident

Breach of Board Membership Policy by former board member.
LJ passed pictures of social media postings made by former Board Member giving details of employee
salary, salary expectations of prospective employees, details of recruitment processes and transfer
details that were covered by contractual confidentiality clauses. Possible GDPR issues which could lead
to fines for the club. Board voted unanimously to write to the person and order them to remove these
postings, and similar, immediately

Were the rogue tweets ever reported? That was said to be the same person, if it's the one rumoured how are they still getting this sort of information?

Good question. There seems to be an inside control war going on at the expense of the football club.

Removed speculation on this after complaint.

The issue created by the minutes and statement is a few ex-board members are now effectively covered by the implication / allegation.

Fair enough, didn't realise there was such a number of ex-board members!

And hopefully a few more 'ex'-members, by the end of this summer.

It was wrong to state an ex board member (assume WST board) as it places all who have left in the spotlight.
Indeed there are former football club board members as well arnt there !!!! Could it be one of them??

oops better remove
