The woman had only been working at the café for a few days when her boss asked if she was pregnant. The boss then explained that the woman could not continue working, the DO says in a press release.

The authority believes that this is gender discrimination and has requested that the company pay the woman SEK 80,000 in compensation for discrimination.
