£25,000 Anti-English Discrimination Damages

The Workers of England Union is proud to announce a landmark victory: our member has been awarded £25,000 in compensation after suffering anti-English discrimination at work. This case, heard at the Middlesbrough Employment Tribunal, reaffirms our commitment to fighting unfair treatment and protecting the rights of every English worker.

Case Overview

The union represented a member whose contract was abruptly terminated despite his excellent standard of work. The claim focused on illegal discrimination under the Equalities Act 2010, specifically:

• Anti-English “National Origin/National Identity” discrimination
• “System of Philosophical Belief” discrimination, due to his active campaigning for a fair deal for England

Union Statement

Alan England, the North East General Secretary of the Workers of England Union, commented:

“I am delighted that the Workers of England Union were able to assist our member in obtaining justice. We have secured substantial compensation because of the anti-English discrimination they endured. No employer in England should think they can victimize a union member without consequence!”
