(UK) - A lesbian shop assistant is in line for more than £120,000 after leaving her job because of a colleague's taunts about her sexuality.
Marlene Bielak, 34, suffered months of bullying from Katrina Davies, 27, who would constantly play a Morrissey song called All The Lazy Dykes at the store where they worked. Mrs Davies also was swearing at Miss Bielak, calling her 'only a ******* dyke.' The tribunal concluded Miss Bielak had been victimised and sexually discriminated against by Mrs Davies and ruled that Next's delay in dealing with the complaint meant that she had been unfairly dismissed.
