BA worker claims “mistreatment”
A British Airways worker is reportedly claiming that a campaign of mistreatment by her bosses quite literally made her hair fall out. According to the Daily Mail, Kym Fackrell was accused of covering up for a worker who took a week off sick, even though he was in fact attending a course. Miss Fackrell and two supervisors were suspended for gross misconduct. But, the newspaper states, Miss Fackrell is claiming that her suspension of six months was longer that her two colleagues’, and that she was demoted – with a pay cut – on her return to work. She will also tell a tribunal, the Daily Mail reports, that there was a campaign to “demean and undermine her”. Though Miss Fackrell cannot speak to the media, her case has reportedly been set out by the union Amicus, which is claiming that the ordeal – during which Miss Fackrell’s mother was dying of cancer – caused her hair to fall out. An Amicus statement reads: “Male managers at the company waged a campaign to demean and undermine her while her mother was terminally ill and subsequently died during her horrific experience. On her return to work she was told to ‘watch her back’ and ‘get on with it’ while in mourning for her mother.” British Airways reportedly said it would be defending its actions.
