A single mother who worked as a cleaner for a law firm has hit back after claiming she was wrongfully fired for eating a leftover low-cost sandwich at her workplace, sparking controversy and garnering support from workers’ unions.
39-year-old Gabriela Rodriguez from Ecuador is currently suing a city law firm that earns £ 46 million ($ 58 million) a year after she alleged that she had been sacked for eating a leftover tuna sandwich that was destined for trash.
Gabriela reportedly launched the claim after she worked for an agency that was contracted to London corporate law firm Devonshires, UK.
