The Labour Court upheld a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation that Wyeth Nutritionals Ireland pay a worker €500 as a goodwill gesture after she was not appointed to a shift operator position. The decision was dated 19 July 2002. The union appealed, arguing that the worker’s seniority under a company-union agreement should have secured the role. The company said her attendance record was the reason it did not appoint her. The Court concurred with the Rights Commissioner’s findings and dismissed the appeal.
