Description
Simon Bailey, a long-serving firefighter, faces mental health struggles after losing his job and an unfair dismissal case.

A tribunal found that his workplace was openly sexist, leading to his resignation and dismissal. Meanwhile, a female firefighter, Sasha Acheson, won her claims of sex discrimination and harassment, receiving a payout of over fifty-two thousand pounds.
