'You people' | Woman wins £6k in sexism tribunal - but respondent also gets payout over race comments during investigation

A woman has been awarded £6,000 by an employment tribunal after a colleague told her to ‘go back to stripping’ during a heated argument.

And in an unlikely twist, the co-worker who made the sexist comment was also handed a chunk of compensation after a judge ruled there was racism involved in the handling of the woman’s complaint.

Ashleigh Fountain was told by Waqar Butt she was a 'lusty woman' and should “go back to your stripping job because that’s all your good for”, an employment tribunal heard.

The pair had been colleagues working for a firm which was gathering the thoughts of HGV drivers on Brexit impacts.
