Labour Court dismisses Kaspars Kadisevskis’s race discrimination appeal

The Labour Court dismissed Kaspars Kadisevskis’s appeal against a finding of no race discrimination by Keith Kirwan T/A Spectrum Painting and Decorating. The determination was signed on 3 June 2011. Kadisevskis alleged discrimination in his employment conditions and dismissal, including over training and safety information. The Court found no evidence that workers of another race or nationality had been treated more favourably. It also found his dismissal was for incompetence and unrelated to his nationality. A separate complaint about not receiving a written contract was withdrawn.
