US Supreme Court bars discrimination against LGBT workers

We hear from plaintiff Gerald Bostock and his lawyer Thomas Mew

The US Supreme Court ruled that a landmark civil rights law protects gay and transgender workers from workplace discrimination, handing the movement for LGBT equality a stunning victory. We hear from the last surviving plaintiff Gerald Bostock and his lawyer Thomas Mew.

Also in the programme, six former employees of the e-commerce company eBay - including some senior executives - have been charged with federal cyberstalking. They are accused of harassing a couple behind an online newsletter that criticised the company.

Plus - we report on how Europe's shops, zoos and bars are slowly re-opening after a long lockdown.

And - our workplace commentator Pilita Clarke considers how to figure out your place in the office hierarchy now that so much work is being done from home.
