Restaurant boss wins £21,000 in damages after being forced to work in 111-degree heat

A restaurant manager has won £21,000 after she was sacked for complaining about temperatures which soared to 111-degrees and even caused a diner to run outside and faint.

Alice Bailey was told to 'get used to it' after she protested to bosses about the London-based restaurant's broken air conditioning system, which led to 'unbelievably hot' working conditions with sweat 'dropping off people's faces'.

Customers of PF Chang's Asian Table in Great Newport Street also complained about the conditions, with one female diner fleeing to 'escape' the 111-degree heat before collapsing on the pavement outside.
