Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found that Joanna Okoniewska's two employment equality complaints and wage complaint failed after she did not attend the hearing or give evidence. In a decision dated 8 June 2026, the WRC said she had not sought a postponement through the hearing and recorded no award. The merits were not decided. Okoniewska had requested another date, citing issues with the hearing letter and asking for a Polish translation of the respondent's submission. Aran Woollen Mills denied discrimination and any entitlement to wages.
