Muslim's £16.7m bid for bank 'sex slur' [UK]

A Muslim bank worker is suing bosses for £16.7million after they allegedly accused her of having sex with a client to boost her job hopes…She also alleges that a director said he would stop humiliating her in front of colleagues only if she had sex with him…She accuses the bank and two former senior male managers of sex, race and religious discrimination. A tribunal will start to hear her case this week. If she wins, it will be the UK’s biggest sex discrimination payout. She claims HBOS offered no protection from the “bullying”, despite her complaints. The bank denies liability and both directors reject her claims.
