In the famous scene from karate kids, a Japanese martial artist catches a fly with a stick.

Seek NHS workers twice failed to convince the racist court when a colleague compared their snappy performance to the Karate Kid in a 1980s martial arts film.

Narinderjeet Kaur Dhillon squashed a bug while leading training with Carl Ward at the Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust in Yorkshire in October 2017.

Six months later, he filed a bullying charge with Human Resources, alleging that Ward responded differently from Miyagi, who did the same thing with just chopsticks.

Ms Dillon said the joke was laughed at by both the audience and herself, claiming no disciplinary action was taken.

She filed four complaints with her former employer after she was fired for “cheating and poor performance,” including filing 13 days late for 14 days in November 2018.

This led to a “long” series of labor court hearings, which he lost many times.

One of the complaints stated that she was sacrificed for her trust due to a previous complaint against her boss.

In March of this year, two weeks before the hearing of the first motion, Ms. Dillon asked the court to add a motion for racism.

Ms Dillon was made redundant by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust in November 2018.

He said the joke was racist, “comparing him to an old Chinese man and to a different, distinct martial arts culture in his own Sikh tradition.”

The character of Miyagi-san is portrayed as a Japanese man, and the American actor Pat Morita, who played him, was born to Japanese immigrant parents.

The explanation Dillon didn’t say earlier was that he only saw the movie on TV for the first time two weeks ago and didn’t know the significance of Ward’s prank at the time.

However, the court ruled that there was “no reasonable prospect” that the comments could be considered discriminatory. [her] “Race”, or as a result was treated improperly.

The Lancaster labor judge also rejected the excuse that Ms Dillon’s allegations were “substantially not overtime”.

He acknowledged that the comments could be considered racial harassment, but added that “it’s also very rude.”

“Furthermore, Plaintiff’s own perceptions at the time do not actually undermine her dignity, but instead create an intimidating, hostile, dignified, humiliating, or unpleasant environment for her. It was nothing.

“The comments clearly were not intended or intended to have that effect, and would not have had the objective or reasonable intent in the context of discovering that they were.”

In April, the court upheld the Trust’s decision to dismiss Ms Dillon and the claim was dismissed in its entirety.

He tried to overturn the decision in June, but his complaint was dismissed because it was “very vague and unrelated to the de facto problem.”

Dillon’s other unsuccessful charges include wrongful termination, unauthorized wage deductions, and disability discrimination related to “root canal,” “precancerous cervical cancer,” and recurrent cysts.

More than seven months after their release, all three were resolved.

The court dismissed his charge that he missed the three-month deadline for the first two months.

She decided to make an exception to the allegations of discrimination against people with disabilities, but three months later, a second labor judge decided that her illness would not leave her disabled at that time.
