爱尔兰维尔京媒体公司推翻了给予Sian Shepherd的30 000欧元歧视奖,Sian Shepherd是一名前计划规划人员,指控她在休产假后受到歧视。 Virgin Media Ireland has overturned a €30,000 discrimination award given to Sian Shepherd, a former schedule planner who alleged discrimination after taking maternity leave. 工作场所关系委员会最初支持Shepherd,但劳资争议法庭裁定,她未能证明存在歧视性待遇,指出还有其他有年幼子女的候选人也被考虑担任该职务。 The Workplace Relations Commission initially sided with Shepherd, but the Labour Court ruled that she failed to prove discriminatory treatment, noting that other candidates with young children were also considered for the position. 维尔京媒体坚持认为,他们的征聘过程是公平的。 Virgin Media maintained that their recruitment process was fair.
