FORMER SAUDI MUSLIM WORKER SUES FOR HAVING TO CARRY ALCOHOL

UK NEWS : A MUSLIM forklift truck driver who is suing Tesco because he was expected to handle alcohol was accused yesterday of “trying it on”.
Mohammed Ahmed, 32, said he was unaware that the retail giant sold booze.

He added that coming into contact with drink was against his beliefs and he was forced to quit because bosses failed to resolve the dispute.

But furious Tory MP David Davies said: “This is absolutely disgraceful. It seems to be a simple case of someone trying it on.

“Immediately this man discovered he was expected to do something which was against his beliefs he should have handed in his notice.”

The Monmouth MP added: “He should be told to go and take a running jump because I refuse to accept that he was unaware that he would be expected to handle crates of alcohol.”

He told the tribunal that he had never visited a Tesco store even though there were three in Derby where he lived.
But he admitted to shopping in other supermarkets and knowing that alcohol had been on sale.
