Chef fired for refusing to add pineapple to pizza. There is a decision from the office.

Davide Tamburella, an Italian chef, was dismissed from a Brisbane restaurant for refusing to make a ham and pineapple pizza, claiming it was offensive to his culture. His dismissal followed multiple complaints about his behavior, including previous refusals to add pineapple to pizzas. The Fair Work Commission ruled against him, stating his claim was submitted too late. Queensland, where the restaurant was located, is known for its pineapple production, and the fruit is highly regarded in the region. Tamburella is now employed at another restaurant that does not serve pineapple pizza.
