Labour Court rejects recall claim by Services Industrial Professional Technical Union

By Gráinne Nolan

Labour Court ·

The Labour Court did not recommend conceding the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union claim to recall five former temporary workers at Premier Grocery Products Ireland Limited. The recommendation was signed on 28 May 2007. The union argued that the workers should be recalled based on seniority. The Court found that the 1982 agreement remained in force and excluded workers who had accepted severance payments from recall consideration. It also recommended that the parties negotiate clear future recall criteria based on seniority and suitability.
