In this case it's a little more than just an employer/employee relationship. It's the head of a non-departmental government body (at the time Hendy lead Network Rail, he's now Minister for Transport) threatening to not award contracts to a railway services provider unless they terminate an employee who voiced safety concerns publicly. Notably these concerns were shared by the Office of Rail and Road (i.e. ... the government).
