Two employees who were sacked after wearing keffiyehs to work at a bakery in Melbourne’s Chadstone shopping centre have launched a workplace discrimination case.
Black Star Pastry, known for its watermelon cake, is facing a discrimination case that alleges the company breached Victoria’s Equal Opportunity Act. They claim the dismissal breached the legislation for loss of employment because it discriminated against two staff members on the basis of their political belief or activity.
