A mother and daughter who claimed they were subjected to a 'hostile work environment' at a Supermac’s due to their American origin have lost their discrimination cases. The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed their complaints under the Employment Equality Act 1998 against Supermac’s Ireland Ltd.
Workplace Relations Commission adjudication officer Pat Brady stated he accepted the adventure centre does important work for society and works with vulnerable adults, ‘but this does not relieve it from the responsibility to apply fair procedure in disciplinary processes. I find that it did not do so in this case’.
Ms Hale and her daughter each referred to multiple alleged incidents of racism in their complaints to the WRC. She claimed the same supervisor also assaulted her by slamming the door of a hot bar closed on her arm while she was reaching for a serving of lasagne and said: “Stupid American b*****.” Ms Hale added that she overheard a second supervisor telling the first supervisor on 4th September last year: “I can’t stand these f***ing Americans either. I am too old for this.”
