Israeli tech firm ordered to pay €35,000 to Irish employee fired for calling Israel ‘terrorist state’
An Israeli tech firm has been ordered to pay €35,000 compensation to a former Irish employee who was unfairly fired after she labelled Israel a “terrorist state” on social media.
Wix Online Platforms had accepted that it had unfairly dismissed customer care team lead, Courtney Carey, on October 23rd, 2023 for gross misconduct over online comments she had made about her concerns about the situation in Palestine.
