Labour Court upholds €600 unfair dismissal recommendation on worker’s appeal

The Labour Court rejected a worker’s appeal and upheld a Rights Commissioner’s finding that Millers Forest And Garden Limited unfairly dismissed him, along with the €600 compensation recommendation. The decision was signed on 21 October 2002. The worker, a trainee horticultural mechanic, said he was unfairly dismissed during a telephone conversation. The company said staff had complained about his behaviour and that it dismissed him to protect the business.
