I'll Have That Litigation With Pepperoni, Please!
One thing we have here in Brazil is a...um...creative legal system.
Ananova - Pizza award for humiliated worker
The Brazilian aviation authority has been ordered to pay £10,000 and a slice of pizza to a disgruntled former employee.
A court in Sao Paulo told Infraero to pay the compensation to the ex-worker who claimed he had been humiliated by his boss.
The worker, who did not want to be identified, said his manager nicknamed him 'bin cleaner' for retrieving a slice of pizza from a bin.
The judge ruled that the former employee deserved compensation for the humiliation of the nickname - and also a slice of pizza.
Judge Eduardo Vieira de Oliveira told UOL: "The slice of pizza was to make the boss think better the next time he wants to make fun of someone in the work place."
