Asked to sign a new contract reducing her working hours, rate of pay and status, she requested - and was refused - redundancy.
l A female trainee chef working in a hotel since September after a two-year college course is paid no more than the waitress: £1.90 an hour, or £87 for a five-day week of 11 hours a day.
