Claire Stephens said issue peaked when pornographic postcard left on her work bench
A former postal sorting worker has told the High Court that An Post failed to deal with bullying by colleagues involving “gay rumours” being circulated about her.
She is suing An Post for personal injuries arising out of the alleged bullying, which she says the company failed to deal with properly. She said another woman who joined the workforce later “seemed to pick up that I had a problem with making eye contact” and “always seemed to be whispering” to others and looking to her.
She rang the human resources department about the incident but for five weeks nothing happened, she said. The laughing and joking continued with one male co-worker singing ‘Pussy Cat Pussy Cat where are you’ and asking her ‘are you anything to Pussy...I mean...Cat Stevens’.In another incident, male colleagues started talking about the length of her fingers and whether they were bent, a reference she believed to the fingers in the postcard.
