The Labour Court affirmed a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation that Cork County Council pay a temporary labourer £1,500 to settle a dispute over his dismissal. The decision was dated 31 December 2001. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union appealed, seeking the worker’s reinstatement. It said he had not been told of concerns about his work or given a chance to answer allegations. The Council said his contract allowed termination with notice and cited incidents involving unauthorised dumping and timekeeping. The Court found the recommendation appropriate and fair and disallowed the appeal.
