Noel Gamble won €7,600 in awards from the Workplace Relations Commission after adjudicator Emile Daly found his dismissal unfair. The proceedings were reported on 10 November 2023.

The award comprised €3,579.45 for financial loss under the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977 and €4,090.80 for eight weeks’ notice pay. Mr Gamble was found to have contributed 50% to his dismissal.

The case followed a one-day work stoppage over pay, which the report described as akin to a wildcat strike. Mr Gamble said the workers’ foreman advised them not to return until management responded, while the foreman denied saying this.
