One of Britain's biggest breweries
stands accused of condoning racism after a black pub worker was sacked
when his manager nicknamed him 'Sooty'.
Despite
regularly calling Joel Perry 'the black man' at the Royal Oak pub in
Gloucester, Janet Wolszczak has kept her job at another of the Greene
King's Hungry Horse chain's sites.
Mrs
Wolszczak would tell Mr Perry to stand underneath the light when she
was talking to him so that she could see him and when he complained he
was falsely accused with stealing drinks.

A panel at Bristol Employment Tribunal found Greene King guilty of racial harassment, direct racial discrimination and victimisation. Greene King settled Mr Perry's claim for compensation out of court after a damning tribunal judgment.
