The Workplace Relations Commission
A meatpacking worker who said she was transferred to physically tougher duties after telling her manager she was pregnant – before he cut her shifts – has been awarded €20,000 for maternity-related discrimination.
General operative Thayane Sousa was awarded the sum on foot of a complaint under the Employment Equality Act 1998 against Asba Meats Ltd in Shannon, Co Clare, in a Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) decision published today.
