A salesman from the Travelling Community who was left "disheartened" and quit after he said he overheard the managing director of his new job making remarks about "p*keys" and "t**kers" has secured €7,500 in compensation for discrimination in the workplace. The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) made the award to the worker, Raymond Nevin, after finding that there was a "culture and tolerance" of the use of such "derogatory terminology" towards Travellers at CPF (Profiles) Ltd in Longford.
