A woman from Blackpool has been awarded almost £10,000 after her boss told her to “stop faffing” while suffering from morning sickness before sacking her a week later.
Gemma Ferridge-Gunn had told her manager Rosie Caunt that she was suffering from morning sickness while working at Alcedo Orange in Blackpool when she was told to “stop faffing”, Lancs Live reports.
Mrs Ferridge-Gunn was sacked just eight days after revealing she was pregnant and an employment tribunal has now awarded her £9,594 after concluding she was the victim of discrimination.
