Labour Court rejects union appeal over Donnolly Mirrors promotion recommendation

The Labour Court rejected the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s appeal and upheld a recommendation that a worker at Donnolly Mirrors Ltd be given another opportunity to compete for a team-leader position, with favourable consideration of the application. The Court found that the worker had not been treated unfairly. Its decision was dated 20 April 2000. The union said the worker’s service and experience warranted a fair opportunity and sought a team-leader position and compensation for alleged financial loss. The company said it could appoint the most suitable candidate and had treated the worker like other applicants.
