Asian man favoured white woman over Asian woman

An Asian manager unlawfully discriminated against an Asian female member of staff when, because of his "cultural upbringing", he treated her less favourably than her white female jobsharer, holds a Manchester employment tribunal (Chair: C Porter) in Rawat v Kirklees Metropolitan Council and others.

Aisha Rawat, who is of Asian origin, commenced employment with Kirklees Metropolitan Council in March 1996 as a community forum officer, working as a job share with Cathy Putz, a white woman.
