This dispute concerns the union's claim on behalf of five claimants that a pro rata sales post was reserved for females only. The union also alleges that the post was not advertised, consequently they were further discriminated against on the grounds of their sex because they were excluded from applying for the post contrary to the Employment Equality Act 1977.
