US Supreme Court bars discrimination against LGBT workers

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The US Supreme Court ruled that a landmark civil rights law protects gay and transgender workers from workplace discrimination, handing the movement for LGBT equality a stunning victory. We hear from the last surviving plaintiff Gerald Bostock and his lawyer Thomas Mew. Also in the programme, six former employees of the e-commerce company eBay - including some senior executives - have been charged with federal cyberstalking. They are accused of harassing a couple behind an online newsletter that criticised the company. Plus - we report on how Europe's shops, zoos and bars are slowly re-opening after a long lockdown. And - our workplace commentator Pilita Clarke considers how to figure out your place in the office hierarchy now that so much work is being done from home. Presenter Jamie Robertson is joined by guests Peter Morici in the US and Mehmal Sarfraz in Pakistan PHOTO: Reuters
