British Indian Postal Worker Wins Harassment Case in UK
News 18A British Indian postal worker has been awarded nearly 230,000 pounds as compensation and loss of earnings after an employment tribunal in the UK accepted his claim of harassment and discrimination on the grounds of race and religion. As someone in charge of holding Work Time Listening and Learning sessions at work, the 38-year-old postal worker would use a multipurpose quiet room, also used for prayer by Muslim staff. The Tribunal, however, said it is confident that by working with the Communication Workers Union Royal Mail can make changes to its existing policies and roll out refresher training to ensure policies are robust, effective and applied appropriately to avoid any similar cases in future. Royal Mail takes its equality and diversity obligations very seriously and is committed to a workplace free of discrimination and harassment, where our colleagues feel respected and able to thrive, a Royal Mail spokesperson said.
