Sacked vegan claims discrimination in landmark case
- benj111 8y agoInteresting article. I'm genuinely in 2 minds about this. On the one hand (assuming what he says is true) he was discriminated (in the non legal sense) for his beliefs. On the other hand, this has almost nothing to do with his veganism. Anyone could point out that perhaps an anti hunting group shouldn't be investing in animal testing. Now Uk law does offer protection to non protected groups (eg you were sacked for being gay, even if you aren't), so a non vegan could also bring a case in this situation. Doesn't that then open the net very wide though? I'm pretty sure many sackings could be linked back to something that could also be a protected belief. Sacking a teacher for exposing himself to students? Discrimination because nudists.
