ABSTRACT
The Tribunal found that Mrs Nagamani Mallidi, a postal worker of Indian origin, had received ‘less favourable treatment’ than her white counterparts. She was asked to take a written aptitude test in order to remain in employment, when a number of comparable white employees were given temporary or permanent contracts without having to take the test. The Tribunal stated that they were extremely unhappy about the way the Post Office operated in terms of its treatment of Asian employees. They said that the Post Office had failed to explain why the test was applied so rigorously in certain cases and not in others.
