Joking about chaining black employees to their desk is 'intrinsically racist', a judge has ruled, as she handed a woman a 5-figure payout
A judge has ruled that joking about chaining black employees to their desks is "intrinsically racist", as she awarded a woman a five-figure payout.The decision came in a case about a cleaning company in Manchester, where boss Teresa McArdle had made the comment to administrator Adele Waring because she often left her work station.
Judge Pauline Feeney ruled at the tribunal hearing that the comment "was intrinsically racist to someone of African-Caribbean heritage", in a ruling that does not carry legal precedent. The hearing heard how Ms McArdle told Ms Waring that “she needed to chain her to her desk” because she “was always disappearing”.
Ms McArdle denied using the word "chain" when speaking to Ms Waring, telling the tribunal she said "tag" instead - but the panel found Ms Waring's version more plausible.
