Worker claims unfair dismissal

THE State’s employment tribunal yesterday heard allegations that a Chinese national working in Burger King was falsely imprisoned and assaulted by superiors.

Nicole Zhao, aged 27, is taking an unfair dismissals case against her employers at the company’s branch in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.

The Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT) heard that Ms Zhao was taking a separate claim for damages in the Circuit Court in respect of allegations of false imprisonment and assault.
