Brewery Director - in alleged sex discrimination claim!!

[Max]

This was the news that has just reached me this afternoon..

Mr Humphrey Smith - allegedly accused of sex discrimination!

It has been claimed, from more than one usually reliable source, that a senior female member of the Samuel Smiths Brewery staff, has instigated legal proceedings, against H R W Smith, for alleged sex discrimination.

It is also alleged, that the complainant, has audio recordings to back up her claims.

Obviously, we will aim to confirm the accuracy of such allegations - and update within this thread. Also, if anyone else can confirm these claims, or has any further information, then please post here.

I have just discovered (99% certain) that the victim is supposedly:

Area Manager - Hester Carline

[stallion]

yes I heard it was Esther,although I was told it was sex discrimination

Since the original post, I have received further information, suggesting the allegations are based on sex discrimination claims - and not sexual harassment, as earlier reported. Although I still have no total clarification, I have amended the original post.

It has also be suggested, that since the alleged victim became a mother, various messages were left on the alleged victims answerphone, relating to the difficulties of balancing motherhood, with work.

More details regarding Sex Discrimination Legislation (relating to women) - which states 'Everyone should be able to balance work and family life' - Something which Mr S might want to familiarize himself with!! There again, I was told that Mrs S, is sent out to work as a dinner lady, at a school - surely not!?

Yes- we too have heard Mrs HS works as a dinner lady- apparantly because 'the money comes in handy'.
