Tesco worker levels racism charge against fellow employees, sues supermarket for colleague farting in his face
42-year-old Atif Masood claims he has been repeatedly targeted by his coworkers because of his religion and received abuse through 'derogatory' messages on Whatsapp
A supermarket employee is suing the chain for over $26,000 on claims that he suffered repeated racism from his colleagues. The 42-year-old employee, Atif Masood, has been working at Tesco since 2006 and is currently a customer assistant at a branch in Thornton Heath, South London. He has now demanded compensation for the relentless bullying he has been the target of because of his religion.
According to the Daily Mail, Masood claims that a colleague farted in his face while another watched and laughed. The 42-year-old said he believes he's being targeted by his colleagues at the store and stated in legal papers filed with the London South employment tribunal that it was because he was Pakistani.
