      Applicant: Sindicato Nacional dos Profissionais de Seguros e Afins
   
      Defendant: Via Directa — Companhia de Seguros SA
   
      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               Must the principle of equal treatment, from which the prohibition of discrimination is derived, be interpreted as applying to public sector employees?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Does the fact that the State imposed a unilateral suspension of the payment of those items of remuneration and applied this only to a specific category of workers — those in the public sector — constitute discrimination having regard to the nature of the employment relationship?
