Tourist shop fined after worker told she was ‘wearing cancer like a badge’

Amanda McCartney, 49, was a seasonal food and drinks worker at the Green Welly Stop in Tyndrum, Scotland, between March and July last year she was diagnosed with the cancer. An employment tribunal in Edinburgh found Ms McCartney suffered disability discrimination over six weeks and ordered Green Welly partners Mr E Robertson and Mrs F Robertson to pay the five-figure compensation sum for injuring her feelings.
