The Labour Court upheld a €650 recommendation to Eason & Son Limited after a worker's appeal failed. The decision was dated 12 August 2002. The worker, represented by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union, said her former receptionist job had been eliminated when Eason asked her to transfer to its Customer Services Department. The company said the requested changes were minor and consistent with its agreement on adapting to change. The Court found no redundancy situation existed and upheld the Rights Commissioner's recommendation that the worker take the new system, with a review after six months and €650 compensation for disturbance.
