A Legal Question Asha Had a Lot on Her Mind.As a Maori Woman

A Legal Question
Asha had a lot on her mind.As a Maori woman working in a New Zealand Government institution, she felt she had to work doubly hard to gain workplace rewards.But recently, even her hard work was not making the difference.Last week, she learned that James, a manager who had very similar qualifications, experience, tenure and responsibilities, was getting paid more than she was.Furthermore, at age 38, she was hearing rumours that Mary, her boss, was considering bringing in a younger group of managers because 'this older group is just costing us too much.' To top it off, there was pressure from home.Her father was critically ill and, as the only child, she wanted to take some time off to help care for him.She was willing to take it as unpaid leave, but was getting resistance from her manager.Asha thought this was unfair given the fact that the organisation had over 200 managers who could cover for her in this crisis.Asha decided to talk with her solicitor about these issues.
-Refer to A Legal Question (Scenario) .Asha's solicitor suggested that she consider looking into a violation of a law that 'prohibits discrimination in recruitment, promotion and dismissal decisions based on grounds of religious or ethnic beliefs, age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability or marital status.'
