UK: Male nurse told to 'man up' by his female boss in front of a room full of women wins sex discrimination case

Article here. Excerpt:

'The only male member of an NHS health visitor team has won a sex discrimination case after his female boss told him to 'man up' in front of a room full of women.

Senior manager Lisa Sanchez deliberately excluded Pete Marsh when saying 'goodbye ladies' as she was leaving a meeting because of a 'growing animus' towards him, an employment tribunal ruled.

Mr Marsh - who has worked in the health service for more than 20 years - said he had grown tired of being the 'butt of jokes' about being the only man in the team.

The tribunal ruled that this culture had been tolerated by bosses including head of service Ms Sanchez, who was found to have joined in with the remarks.

Now, after his internal complaints of bullying were rejected, Mr Marsh has successfully sued the NHS for sex discrimination and is in line for compensation.'
