The European Court of Justice lost an opportunity to bolster employment protection for part-time workers in November 1993. In a ruling in the case of Kirsammer-Hack v Nurhan Sidal (Case C- 189/91) it ruled that the exclusion of part-time employees of small businesses from unfair dismissal protection in the German national scheme of employment protection was not contrary to EC law, and did not contravene the principle of equal treatment for men and women although the vast majority of the workers were women.
