Labour Court recommends Tesco warning for security officer expire

In 2002, the Labour Court recommended that a written warning issued by Tesco Ireland Limited to a worker expire on 29 July, the date of its decision. The worker had appealed the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation. The Court found the worker had shown a lack of discretion during a store incident and that the warning was warranted. It also noted that the warning letter appeared to have been composed before the disciplinary procedure was exhausted, and recommended that the company ensure security staff knew its policy for similar incidents.
