Part-timers' redundancy selection not sex bias

In Harrison and others v John Hine Ltd, dismissing a claim of indirect sex discrimination brought by part-time employees made redundant, a Shrewsbury industrial tribunal (Chair: S J Williams) holds that 94% female compliance with the conditions for continued employment was not considerably smaller than 97% male compliance.

The three female applicants were employed part time to paint the plaster models manufactured by the respondent.
