Anna McKnight was 'ostracised' after telling her boss that she was pregnant and claimed to have been given fewer shifts at the tapas place where she worked after being sick.

Jonny Carruthers, her boss, later sent her a WhatsApp note, saying she had "no bad feelings." At an employment tribunal, Ms McKnight has successfully sued the restaurant in Greenock, Scotland, for pregnancy discrimination and unfair dismissal.

After claiming that bosses at Bertha Park High School (inset) in Perth, Scotland, refused to discourage students from racially insulting her in class, Rizwana Mallet-Ali (pictured) tries to sue Bertha Park High School (inset). Children regularly addressed her using the Jamaican greeting term 'wagwan,' she told a work tribunal. She also claimed she was mocked due to her skin color. Such abuse was so severe that she asked that retaliant offenders be barred or face police action as a result of 'hate crimes.' However, she was left fuming after school leaders took a "restorative approach" to each pupil, instead of giving them 'guidance.' She later resigned from teaching after falling ill with fear and then proceeded to sue the school for £20,000, a lawsuit that was dismissed by a judge.
