Is this a sexual discrimination case?

How do some women continue to be granted compensation on numerous grounds?

Here we have a serving female Chief Petty Officer, who doesn't go to sea, and the Navy who obviously wants a Warrant Officer who can serve at sea.

But because the Navy only wants to promote someone that can serve at sea, she sues the Navy for by-passing her promotion.

Obviously the cash strapped Navy have found it necessary to pay Warrant Officer rates for a person to do a particular job, and if that means they must have sea going experience, then that should be enough.

Do you understand contracts? Have you ever signed one? If so, did you expect the other party to comply with its terms?

This woman has a contract which states that 'non-seagoing status would not affect career prospects'.

But 'an employment judge ruled the navy's promotions board denied promotion to Chief Petty Officer Jacqueline Cartner because she had non-seagoing status.'

which bit of this is hard for you to understand?
