A restaurant worker has claimed she was fired for refusing to wear a bra on her shift.
In a Facebook post, she alleged an “inappropriate sexual remark was made to me” at the Bird and Beer, in Beverley, East Yorkshire.
The post racked up hundreds of shares, comments and likes in a short space of time, reports Hull Daily Mail .
Her post started with:
“So I’ve just got home after being sacked from my job, for refusing to wear a bra.
“This was said to me in front of three other staff members and customers. Leaving me feeling body shamed and completely shocked that the blame was being put onto me that I had been sexually harassed at work.”I am absolutely disgusted, with the unprofessional-ism, and blatant lack of respect for my right as a woman to wear whatever makes me personally comfortable,” “Nobody should EVER feel the need to hide themselves in order to stay away from unwanted sexual comments/behaviour.”
The restaurant was forced to turn off the comments section on its Facebook page after the remarks sparked fury on social media.
Some were so outraged they began leaving bad reviews for the establishment on Google.
