Shopworkers
[ch 6: page 53]A protected shop worker or betting worker can claim unfair dismissal if selected for redundancy wholly or mainly due to a refusal to work on Sundays (or a particular Sunday). This applies to someone whose contract states that they are not required to work on a Sunday, or someone who has been continuously working as a shop worker since 26 August 1994 (the date when relevant parts of the Sunday Trading Act 1994 became law).
