9 Discrimination against contract workers. E+W+S
(1)This section applies to any work for a person (“the principal”) which is available for doing by individuals (“contract workers”) who are employed not by the principal himself but by another person, who supplies them under a contract made with the principal.
(2)It is unlawful for the principal, in relation to work to which this section applies, to discriminate against a woman who is a contract worker—
(a)in the terms on which he allows her to do that work, or
(b)by not allowing her to do it or continue to do it, or
(c)in the way he affords her access to any benefits, facilities or services or by refusing or deliberately omitting to afford her access to them, or
(d)by subjecting her to any other detriment.
(3)The principal does not contravene subsection (2)(b) by doing any act in relation to a woman at a time when if the work were to be done by a person taken into his employment being a man would be a genuine occupational qualification for the job.
(4)Subsection (2)(c) does not apply to benefits, facilities or services of any description if the principal is concerned with the provision (for payment or not) of benefits, facilities or services of that description to the public, or to a section of the public to which the woman belongs, unless that provision differs in a material respect from the provision of the benefits, facilities or services by the principal to his contract workers.
