Leeds mum with no legal training wins £60k payout from Morrisons over discrimination

A Leeds mum has won £60k from Morrisons for being discriminated against when she came back to work after maternity leave.

Donna Patterson, from Wetherby, took the supermarket to court after getting back from having her second child to be asked to do full-time responsibilities despite her contract only being part time. Donna told BBC Radio 4 her department was restructured while she was on maternity leave and her previous buyer job no longer existed.

The 38-year-old mum-of-two told the BBC she was told to "prioritise things a bit better" to do the full-time work in her part-time hours. Donna eventually filed an internal grievance after saying she was being told things weren't getting finished on time.
