UK woman fired for getting pregnant during maternity leave. This happens next
maternity leave pregnant again, was awarded a compensation of 28,000 pounds by an employment tribunal. The woman Nikita Twitchen, 27, was preparing to return to her office after having a baby when she found out she was expecting again. Before she could join back, her managing director Jeremy Morgan sacked her from her job to stop her going on another 36-week maternity leave, Daily Mail reported. Nikita Twitchen, an office administration assistant at First Grade Projects, began her role in October 2021. Left with no options to make her ends meet, Nikita was forced to take cleaning jobs while pregnant to support her family. She then took the building services firm First Grade Projects to an employment tribunal, launching an unfair dismissal claim, alleging that her pregnancy was the reason for her termination, where a judge ruled she was unfairly dismissed.

Ministry may soon tap Cabinet for green flag on FTA SOPs as new guidelines nearly readly
standard operating procedure (SOP) for negotiating its free trade agreements (FTA) and address new issues — labour, environment, digital services, gender and indigenous peoples and has temporarily paused some new trade pacts. Officials said a review of India’s trade pact with the UAE in two years after it came into force and a rise in sustainability measures being imposed by the US and the EU, have led the government to develop a new FTA strategy. These guidelines will be based on reciprocity and stronger rules of origin to prevent Chinese products entering India by misusing any of the trade pacts. “The SOPs are almost ready and we will go to Cabinet for its approval,” said an official. The SOPs assume significance as India is negotiating trade pacts with the UK, the EU, Peru, Oman, Chile and a comprehensive trade deal with Australia.
