Polish Doctor in UK discriminiated and bullied against gets millions.

Good for her and kudos to the judge.I am sure there is more Polish people who could claim discrimination in UK and get some compensation.

I suspect there's a lot more to this story than meets the eye. Let's hope the ridiculous judgment is overturned in appeal (which it almost certainly will be) and the money is used for lifesaving operations.

Would you like to tell your kid that he or she has to stay on dialysis for another year because some overseas doctor has taken the hospital's entire budget because her feelings were hurt...

Yep, discrimination and racism are wrong unless they are against Polish people, kunt's logic...

Read the details of the case before mouthing off.And at th e same time why not learn about the employment tribunal system - the case is still at a relatively early stage.

Oh yeah because Poland is the most open tolerant society in the modern world where racism and intolerance are just words in the dictionary. Right??

I have 10's of dozens of Polish friends and family living and working in the UK. Many of them holding very senior management positions in government departments and household names.

NONE of them have a problem or indeed have ever had a problem. They are well respected by upper management and their subordinates.

You want to talk about discrimination????

Ask my wife how many times she has attended interviews and been asked, do you plan to have any more children? What difference does that make to her ability to perfrom her duties. Well it would seem that the risk of a woman of child bearing age or a woman with children are seen as potential problems due to their propensity to take days off to look after little sick Tomasz.

Ageism, racism and sexism is alive and well in Poland and dont try to pretend its anything different.


Ive had as many bad experiences with Polish doctors as I have with NHS doctors.

In fact the minute they realise I am English and my wife is Polish my familys health suddenly becomes a cash cows for them to attempt to milk.

Honestly, in Poland, they are problematic for exactly that reason. The tendency here to keep kids off school for the slightest thing (OMG RUNNY NOSE END OF THE WORLD) causes much of this, I think. And that's without mentioning the maternity culture whereby every pregnant woman wants to get signed off sick at the start of the pregnancy.

No it won't be,stupid.They already admited wrong doing and apologized to mrs.Michalak.

Why is she a different race ? Different nationality, yes, but a different race ??

Discrimination is always wrong, but this amount of compensation is insane!

Imagine a Jewish doctor compensated for discrimination in Poland... How kunts would call Poles criticizing court's verdict then ? Antisemites I guess :))

almost never agree with you but this time I do.

good for her.

Like I said before the bizzare modding obviously came into play, this cow is a parasite, 4.5 million for a bit of hurt feelings,ffs! The slack b!tch has the nerve to talk about PTSD....pathetic parasite,WTF was she doing getting knocked up in her late 40s for anyway ?

This just proves one thing again, if you already have the money you get the big payouts and playing the race card,how pathetic is that....even more pathetic that some senile old judge bought it.

boo and all those discussions here - you defend this or that just because he/it is Polish;all that looking down your nose being all haughty and impartial.

Now when the tables were turned on you - and there we go!

Even if that is only early stage of the case.

well I suppose that is what her colleagues thought when they tried to hound her out of her job.
If you really think there's no racism against Polish in the UK, you are wrong.
Additionally, while these days a woman can choose to do any job she wishes, requests for maternity leave bring out the old boy network.
The majority of medical schools in this country had Jew quotas, and woman quotas, and requests for photo's with applications right into the late 80s.

While the payout does seem excessive, there's no need to be abusive about someone whose real situation at work we know nothing about. It sounds as though she became ill through stress.

I'm sure I met the husband a


It is indeed a very early stage of the case. These payouts are almost always reduced to much less.

I'm sure I met the husband afew years ago through friends and an old address book confirms it. I don't remember his wife being Polish though.

This is the only element that makes it a news story in my opinon. The fact that she's a woman, or Polish, or a doctor, has no bearing as far as I'm concerned. She was hounded out of her position by jealous or petty management for whatever reasons they had, which were wrong, and that's that. I'd hope a single white male would get the same compensation if he was bullied out of his truck driving job, but we all know that won't happen.

But to compensate someone to that amount; more than they would earn in their professional lifetime (and that's 45 years of 100,000 pounds per annum) is utterly ridiculous, and I hope that gets adjusted by the appeals court at some time in the future.

there is a lot of bullying of white European doctors in the UK in hospital departments where the Clinical Lead is black or asian

they really seem to get off on pushing Central European doctors about

Of course, no Polish university student has ever cheated in any exam....


If I could be bothered, I'd apply for a couple of hundred jobs three times: three very similar CVs but one accompanied by a photo of a white man, one by a photo of a black man and one by a photo of a man wearing a yarmulke.

Do it and sent it to the Gazeta Wyborcza lol

Whether or not the woman in Pontefract cheated will probably never be known (though given that the standards of Polish University exams compromise everyone who takes part in an exam system where cheating is rife, it can never be ruled out) to cheat in medical exams is inexcusable. It puts lives at risk.

As the old American joke goes, "What do you call a doctor who came last in his year? Doctor. What do you call a lawyer who came last in his year? You don't."

And what explanation can there be for this guy passing his medical exams plus completing clinical training?

Well, if that would be a case here I sure they would bring it forward soon enough. Seems there are others factors in play than her professionalism.

Diverting from the thread topic a bit. The system of education in Poland should be bend to eradicate instances or culture of cheating at exams.

The problem is the most Poles seems to see nothing wrong with this.

Gazeta Wyborcza is a newspaper. That some Polish people are racist is most certainly not news.


How many Poles do you know who have never ever cheated in an exam?

Interesting to see that the lady in question was originally claiming £9 million.

I agree - examination and other assessments need to be 100% uncompromised - not least because it casts suspicion on the qualifications of those who didn't cheat.

I understand Dr Michalak completaly as I am in very similar situaton but unfortunatelly I do not have English husband and I am desperated for any help as I afraid that I will be to much depressed to carry on agains them. I am just humanbeing why some people are so cruel?????

Are you in the union?

A new epedemic sweeps across the Polish community in the UK.

You've got a claim under Protection from Harassment Act 1997. Please contact tomekklarecki@wp.pl.

If someone works for ISS at one of Travelodge hotels in the UK (or knows other people who do), and is paid £ 1.41 per room, and wants to receive compensation for being paid below National Minimum Wage, PLEASE CONTACT Tomek Klarecki at tomekklarecki@wp.pl.

Are you from a Trade Union or a lawyer? Or something else entirely? The webmail address doesn't really suggest much.
