NSW:Company fined over pregnant worker
A Chinese couple who ran a Sydney printing company have been fined more than 23-thousand
dollars after they fired a worker three months after she miscarried.
JIONGQUI YE was demoted and mistreated after she told the Wongta directors that she was pregnant.
She then lost the baby and was fired a few days before Christmas.
Justice DENNIS COWDROY says the 36-year-old suffered abusive action because of her
gender and pregnancy.
Mr COWDROY fined XIO YU ZHANG and her husband GIN GUO WANG $11,880 each and the directors
have also agreed to pay Ms YE two-thousand-200 dollars in compensation.
