Edited sentence: A Zimbabwean woman was awarded €50000 by the Equality Tribunal after succesful litigation against her former employer Steven Broadey of Boss Worldwide Promotions Ltd (BWPL).Prior to the dismissal the worker in question had been lauded as the highest fundraiser within Boss Worldwide Promotions Ltd, and was given a positive mention in Cobra Group promotional literature for this reason.Some examples of the ill-treatment of workers in companies contracted by the Cobra Group are documented in a succesful unfair dismissal case in Ireland in 2008.The main argument used by Broadey in defending his case was that the worker in question had been a self-employed sole trader and not actually an employee of his company.The payment ordered by the equality officer responsible for the case was for compensation of €5000 for "harrassment and discriminatory treatment" and another €45000 compensation for discriminatory dismissal
