IT worker Ian Clifford opens up about his reasons for suing IBM over salary increase during 15-year sick leave.
Clifford's motivation was to provide financial security for his family due to his ongoing battle with stage four leukemia and its impact on insurance, pension, and other aspects.
He sought a 2.5% pay rise and wants IBM to clarify if a formal salary review was conducted. Settlement offers were made prior to the hearing.
Despite the employment tribunal judge dismissing his case, Clifford appeals the verdict, emphasizing the significance of his claim.
