'Auntie' hits a nerve, PIO wins harassment suit
A UK NHS Trust has been ordered to pay £1,425 in damages to a healthcare assistant after a colleague repeatedly called her "auntie" against her wishes. An employment judge ruled this constituted harassment based on age and sex, creating an offensive environment. The colleague also made inappropriate remarks about her being a "good match for an older staff member."
