Woman forced out of job after disability complaint

An Auckland woman has been forced to leave her volunteer job at a charity store, after a colleague complained about her intellectual disability. Rebecca Gibbs had been volunteering at the Hibiscus Coast Community House for about a year when the complaint was made. A volunteer said they could not cope with Rebecca because of her disability and she should not be working at the store. The store's manager then suggested that Rebecca could change her shift, so she didn't work with the complainant.
