A woman who was made redundant from haulage firm Eddie Stobart while pregnant has been awarded £10,000 in compensation
A woman who was made redundant from haulage firm Eddie Stobart while pregnant has been awarded £10,000 in compensation.
In an email to a company HR worker, she wrote: "I believe that due to being a pregnant employee who will be on maternity leave...I must be prioritised over fellow employees for posts. I understand if this does not happen then it would be unfair dismissal." An employment tribunal heard that the emails regarding Ms Graham's grievance were filtered out by Eddie Stobart's IT security system, meaning they never reached the company. This only became apparent in March this year.
