Worker could make history in a crucial case for ethical vegans
Sacked employee Jordi Casamitjana, who shuns buses and figs, hopes tribunal will be a landmark
Whether “ethical veganism” should be recognised as a protected philosophical belief will be determined at an employment tribunal which starts on Thursday.
At a time when hundreds of thousands of people are attempting to observe “veganuary” – going without animal products for the whole of January – the hearing will add to the growing interest in veganism.
