Melbourne, Mar 11: A topless barmaid has claimed that she was unfairly dismissed after she refused to change kegs in the cool room in her undies.

Nicole Keenan, 29, told News.com.au that she had completed five shifts at Darwin's Airport Hotel when they told her that the agency would no longer require her.

She told the NT News that she was given no reason for the sacking, no warning and no managerial explanation.

Keenan said that she had already budgeted for the regular shifts, which pay more than 60-dollar-an hour, and was left "financially stressed" after the unexpected sacking.

She added that just because they don't wear their tops doesn't mean that they deserve any less respect. (ANI)
