Woman wins £17,000 over ‘ginger’ abuse

A red-headed waitress taunted about her hair colour won £17,618 in compensation.

Mother-of-three Sarah Primmer claimed sexual harassment and unfair dismissal against a Turkishrun kebab shop and café where she worked.

The 41-year-old, of Plymouth, told an employment tribunal: ‘I was regularly sexually harassed by my employers.

‘They would make lewd and embarrassing comments about me and ask me intimate questions about my personal life.

‘These included asking questions about the colour of my pubic hair, the size of my breasts and the size of my boyfriend’s penis, all of which I found insulting and demeaning.’

The divorcee, who now has blonde highlights, said she was ’staggered’ by the size of the award against the Rendezvous Café, where she was employed from November 2004 until October last year.
