A BP worker who was wrongly sacked after privately sharing a version of a Hitler parody video during pay negotiations has been awarded $200,000 in compensation. The parody video was based on a clip from the 2004 German movie Downfall showing a highly agitated Adolf Hitler in his final hours. Mr Tracey recommenced his position at the BP Kwinana oil refinery in south-west Perth in March. Australian Workers Union West Australian secretary Brad Gandy, who represented Mr Tracey, said the union was pleased by the decision. However, he said 'it doesn't make up for the completely unnecessary drama and heartache Mr Tracey has been dragged through'.
