Train operator Nicola Jones had requested every other Saturday off to look after her child.
Expecting a female London Underground driver to work on a Saturday did not amount to sex discrimination, an employment judge has ruled.
Ms Jones’ child was born in 2013, and she had avoided working on Saturdays since then because her husband is a bus driver who is required to work every weekend, an east London employment tribunal heard.She told bosses she needed shift patterns that were opposite to her husband’s so their child was always cared for, the tribunal was told.
In November 2020, Ms Jones was invited to a meeting with her manager at which she was told her usual flexible working arrangement was coming to an end due to the “detrimental impact … to the quality of service London Underground was able to provide its customers”.
