* Mary Onuoha says she was bullied by bosses to make her remove cross at work

* NHS worker at Croydon hospital says managers threatened disciplinary action

* Nurse, 61, claims other staff were allowed to wear jewellery and religious items

* A tribunal found in her favour and said she was constructively dismissed in 2020

A Catholic nurse who was bullied out of her job for wearing a cross around her neck at work was unfairly dismissed by the hospital where she had worked for 18 years, an employment tribunal has ruled.

NHS theatre practitioner Mary Onuoha claimed that she had faced a 'campaign of harassment' by bosses at Croydon University Hospital to make her remove the small gold cross.

A tribunal found that although the hospital claimed there were health and safety policies behind their demand, this was inconsistent with the treatment of other staff who wore similar items of clothing and jewellery.

The only stance the hospital would have is if she works in an MRI clinic. And, even then, they should relocate her to another part of the hospital.

In the states, she would have probably received all her back pay plus some punitive award. Not sure if she gets any money from this. Hopefully, she doesn’t need to return to her old job with the same group of people. They would likely retailiate in some manner.

Mussie stuff still okay since they go around murdering their subjects and Christians don’t.
