#ECJ ruled that #EUlaw protects not only disabled employees but also those caring for someone with a disability.

On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, let’s take a look at the Coleman case

(C-303/06), a step forwards in the fight against discrimination.

#ECJ ruled that #EUlaw protects not only disabled employees but also those caring for someone with a disability.

Ms. Coleman faced unfair treatment at work because she was the primary carer for her disabled child.

The Court made it clear: discrimination based on association with a disability is just as unacceptable as

discrimination against disabled persons themselves.
