I hope this is true, and good luck to the guys involved. From what i have seen, every time EK has been taken to court over its discriminatory HR policies, the company has lost. That has largely been because the cases have been tried in the UK. Lets hope this one goes the same way.
My bet is that this wont make it to court because EK wont want to set a precedent. But having said that, if they settle out of court it will open up a whole new can of worms for them.
More power to you guys.
