Woman demoted and told to 'look for another job' because she was pregnant

Abbey Gannapureddy had been assistant manager at an ice cream shop in Chester since September 2018 before she was demoted and dismissed because she was pregnant, an employment tribunal found.

The pregnancy left Mrs Gannapureddy unable to lift tables, reach the front tubs for scooping ice-cream or bend to lift cakes to serve to customers at Ice Stone Gelato on Bridge Street, Cheshire Live reports.
