Woman awarded £19k for Christmas party harassment
By Lyndsey TelfordA woman who says she was left feeling unsafe in the workplace after being sexually harassed at a Christmas party has been awarded nearly £19,000.
"I stood up to behaviour that shouldn't be happening in any workplace and my manager, and my employer, totally failed to protect me both from the harassment and from being victimised afterwards.Ms Lyons, 60, was the only female employee, along with six male employees from the Portadown and Dungannon showrooms, to attend the company's Christmas party in December 2017.
"And I thought if this is the treatment they're going to give me, I'll stand my ground. I will fight this." Ms Lyons, who waived her right to anonymity in the proceedings, was awarded £18,857.18 in compensation.
