'Not just banter' | Asda worker 'kicked in backside' by female colleague was victim of sex discrimination

An Asda worker has won a sex discrimination case after being kicked in the rear and “humiliated” by a female colleague.

Choon Seng Goh, the supermarket employee, will receive compensation after a judge ruled Asda had discriminated against the worker on the grounds of his gender, as the supermarket hadn’t taken his bullying claims seriously.

At the tribunal, Goh stated that a man would have been “sacked on the spot” if they experienced the same thing as him, having been kicked and kneed twice by a female colleague.

The tribunal revealed that in 2019 the perpetrator Mercy Asante kicked him in the rear, but Goh hadn’t reported the incident believing it wouldn’t happen again.
