She took on Morrisons in court - and won!
A Leeds mum has won £60k from Morrisons for being discriminated against when she came back to work after maternity leave.
The 38-year-old mum-of-two told the BBC she was told to "prioritise things a bit better" to do the full-time work in her part-time hours. Donna eventually filed an internal grievance after saying she was being told things weren't getting finished on time.Donna said she felt the internal process "failed" her, and eventually ended up handing her notice in.
Morrisons said in a statement that it is "incredibly important" to the supermarket to welcome mothers back from maternity leave in a "thoughtful" way. The supermarket added: "However, we don't accept that we acted in an unfair way in this case and believe a number of the facts have been misrepresented and we are considering an appeal."
