abercrombie and fitch is going to need to push some extra moose-emblazoned button-downs and hoodies today.
Britain's Central London Employment Tribunal awarded former employee Riam Dean ￡9,014 (approximately $14,696) after ruling that the clothing giant had harassed her about her prosthetic arm, reports the Daily Mail.
Dean, who worked at the abercrombie and fitch London flagship store, sued the company for discrimination against her disability, claiming bosses banished her to the stockroom rather than use her on the sales floor, and even suggested that she stay out of sight until the colder months, when employee uniforms allowed for more arm coverage.
Though the tribunal did acknowledge that abercrombie and fitch created an "adversely humiliating environment" for Dean -- who quit after just five shifts -- they did not find evidence of direct discrimination, due to the fact that all store employees must adhere to the in-house looks policy dictating appearance.
Hey, ￡9,014 could buy a ton of rugby shirts, but something tells us Dean will take her money elsewhere.
