Letter: More equal than men

Sir: I am bewildered by the Court of Appeal ruling (report, 22 May) on the case of the Tube train driver who claimed sex discrimination on the grounds that a change in her shift pattern had made it impossible for her to work and also look after her child.

It seems that men and women must continue to be treated equally by employers except where this would be to the disadvantage of women because of any private and personal commitment they might have. I am glad that I am not an employer.
