A disgruntled former employee of a charity cafe in Lanarkshire took bosses to an employment tribunal over claims that she was 'victimised' after they sacked her for threatening to 'destroy the cafe'.
A woman who took the bosses of a charity cafe in Lanarkshire to an employment tribunal over accusations she was discriminated against and victimised has had her claim thrown out.
Barnett became a volunteer with the Motherwell cafe in October 2018 and worked as a "front of house" assisting the trainees. Despite suffering from MS, she told the project supervisor that she didn't require any adjustments. A month later, she said she would need help with some tasks including mopping the floor and carrying items on a tray.
In April 2019, Ms Marcella was made aware that Barnett had accepted a trainee as a friend on Facebook. The issue was raised as a general point in a staff meeting, with no direct reference to her personally. The disturbance was reported to the police and led to Barnett being arrested but the case was thrown out in court. Barnett's employment was terminated following her behaviour at that meeting.
