'It's crazy' | WHSmith probes claims that Muslim worker was denied leave request for Eid

WHSmith is investigating reports that a Muslim employee was refused an annual leave request to celebrate Eid, before being threatened with an internal investigation when he called in sick on the day he had requested off.

The high street retailer is under the microscope after an employee (going by the name @mahie29 on Twitter) shared an alleged text message exchange with their manager regarding taking time off sick.
