fraid not there Sparky.
You can only disciminate against Age, Sex, Race and membership/non-membership of a trade union.
However Although I support the IFA, I do feel that this does discriminate against those who are (through their own choise.. after all its not compulsory yet) not in the IFA. Therefore, to apply to this advert, one must decide whether or not you are forced to join against your will in order to apply..?
Had a talk with ACAS about this... :face-huh:
I can understand the car (as a proportion of the job will involve moving around... and walking, although eco friendly , does not cut it...) The IFA membership however should be Desirable (or will be encouraged to join ) but not a bar on applications... which limits the number of those who can apply.
Still to hear back about Trainees... so watch the space
"No job worth doing was ever done on time or under budget.."
