Cork市议会在进行蜂鸣测试后支付8 000欧元,裁定因性别和年龄原因而歧视妇女。 Cork City Council to pay €8,000 after beep test ruled discriminatory against woman on gender and age grounds.

在工作场所关系委员会裁定在招聘消防员时使用标准化蜂窝测试,以性别和年龄为由对她进行歧视之后,科尔克市议会必须向Terézia Fott支付8 000欧元的赔偿。 Cork City Council must pay €8,000 in compensation to Terézia Foott after the Workplace Relations Commission ruled its use of a standardized beep test in firefighter recruitment discriminated against her on gender and age grounds. 尽管理事会声称,统一的健身标准能确保运作安全,但是,在没有按年龄或性别调整的标准的情况下适用的测试结果发现,对妇女和老年申请人不公平地不利。 The test, applied without age- or gender-adjusted standards, was found to unfairly disadvantage women and older applicants, despite the council’s claim that uniform fitness standards ensure operational safety. 裁决人认为,“一刀切”的方法缺乏公平性,特别是考虑到没有考虑到人口差异的规范性表格。 The Adjudicator concluded the "one size fits all" approach lacked fairness, particularly given no normative tables accounted for demographic differences. Foot,43岁的兼职消防员,除了有氧部分外,通过了所有测试部件,并仍然有资格重新申请未来职位。 Foott, a 43-year-old part-time firefighter, passed all test components except the aerobic portion and remains eligible to reapply for future positions.
