Whether the federal administrative appeal was admissible despite autonomy arguments and the mixed competence for setting salaries.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible because the case concerned the federal equal-pay prohibition, not merely cantonal salary classification or municipal autonomy.
Motivazione estratta
The dispute turned on whether the salary scheme itself discriminated on grounds of sex; that is a question of federal law reviewable by administrative appeal.
