An RCN spokesperson said:
“The judgment is comprehensive and we welcome the decision that we did not discriminate against our member based on her protected beliefs. RCN staff followed agreed processes that apply to all members and we acted fairly and impartially. We are sorry these matters were aired before the Tribunal.
“The RCN is an anti-discrimination organisation, supporting all of its members."
