A breastfeeding teacher has won a sexual harassment case after her school 'humiliated' her by making her express milk in the toilets or the car park. Tara Mellor repeatedly asked bosses for a room in which she could express milk to give her newborn daughter after work, an employment tribunal heard.
But her requests were ignored and she was 'forced' to do it either in the car park or the 'often dirty' toilets during her lunch break. The tribunal heard this 25 minute break meant she would often also have to eat her lunch in the toilets, which she found 'unhygienic' and 'disgusting'.
Now, Ms Mellor has won a sexual harassment case after an employment judge ruled her school gave her 'no choice' but to resort to the 'humiliating' measures. The Hull tribunal heard Ms Mellor taught Citizenship at the Mirfield Free Grammar School in Mirfield, West Yorkshire.
