Libby Kennedy sues for discrimination

Don't get mad... Get Everything!!

When Libby Kennedy’s new employers fire her this week in Neighbours because she is pregnant, look out! “Libby was ecstatic when she first got her new job at The Chronicle, because she’s always wanted to work on a big city newspaper,” reveals Kym Valentine. “The editor promises to call her with a contract, but she hears nothing. Then she phones the secretary, who says, ‘Sorry, I don’t know you.’”

Libby is confused, but she talks to her husband Drew and works out why the paper’s attitude has changed. Drew told her editor that his wife is pregnant, and the paper’s response is something the feisty journalist won't take lying down! Libby enlists the help of her neighbour and law student Maggie Hancock. Together, they decide to sue The Chronicle for discrimination.

“It’s important to Libby to stand up for her rights,” Kym reveals.” But they don’t get very far. The Chronicle sends a lawyer over to talk to them who says, ‘If you take this to court, you won’t win.’ Libby and Maggie decide to fight it, but they know it’s not going to be easy.”

It puts Libby under even more pressure, which is something she doesn’t need in her delicate condition. “She is in enough trouble with the pregnancy already- she really ought to be taking it east,” Kym says, “But being such a headstrong character, Libby can’t let it go without a fight. If I was her, though, I certainly would!”
