KFC suspend employee over 'ice-cold' Facebook posts

KFC has suspended an employee after she posted on Facebook about staff having to work in “freezing” conditions.

Hull Daily Mail report that Sarah Starkey has been told not to return to work at her branch of the fast food chain after complaining about the temperature on social media.

Starkey wrote that she recorded the temperature as less than nine degrees adding that "KFC Beverley Road making staff work in these conditions. Completely illegal but having our jobs threatened if we walk out. Legally it should be at least 13 degrees."

She then received a letter telling her that she was suspended over allegations she "posted comments on social media" in breach of her contract, and "put the company in disrepute".
