Language: English Series: Western Mail ; 26 May 1999, 5; 27 May 1999, 11(2)Publication details: 1999Subject(s): Summary: Two chartered surveyors failed in a race discrimination case which claimed that they were paid less because they are Welsh.

Colleagues in Bristol needed to create only £110,000 a year to earn £40,000. However the tribunal ruled that although there were grounds for grievance, there was no discrimination.
