Discrimination in the workplace.
April 24th, 2010
“Discrimination is the treatment of a worker in a less favourable way than another worker is being,has been,or would be treated.”
In Ireland cases are referred to and investigated by the Equality Tribunal.
In its report for 2009 there were 117 referrals on the grounds of disability(up 21% 0n 2008)
95 referrals on grounds of gender(up 20% on 2008)
289 on grounds of race( 33% of all cases in 2008/2009 involve race issues)
Financial cutbacks, including a driving ban on staff, currently prevents the Tribunal from attending hearings in towns that do not have a train station!
