Sean Egan vs Morrisons]]>Morrisons is standing by its decision to sack one of its former managers, Sean Egan, who was involved in an altercation with a shoplifter at its Aldridge store.  But Sean's case has gone viral, attracting support from politicians, the head of the Metropolitan Polices, and members of the public, some of whom are planning to protest outside the store this weekend.
