Network Rail Worker Wins Racial Harassment Case

0:00On April 8th, a network rail worker named Palm Jeep Bossy just want to race harassment case against his employer. He's not Muslim, but colleagues at the Eastley Depot in Hampshire stuck an anti-Islam leaflet from the far-right English defense league in his boots. Inside his locker back in November 2018, the leaflet question, what people were doing to protect kids from Islam? An employment tribunal ruled this was straight up a racial harassment targeting his background. Bossy had rocky relations with his team already, and he felt shocked no one followed up. His managers took a hands-off approach, which the tribunal called, weak and hard to understand. They said it lumped him in with a so-called dangerous other just because of his race. Then in January, right after he came back from leave, more harassment hit. Two newspapers with a headline about someone knife nine times showed up, one with a note saying it was parmed and another near a knife in a drawer. Again, in his boot, his manager sent him home on full pay for safety and shifted him to

Both claims stuck at the Southampton Tribunal. Network rail now faces compensation payouts, highlighting how ignoring these acts only empowers bullies and hurts workers like Bossy, who just won a fair shot on the job.
