Labour Court upholds recommendation on Tesco Dooradoyle cash office log books

The Labour Court disallowed a worker’s appeal and upheld a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation concerning cash office log books at Dooradoyle Tesco. The decision was signed on 3 November 2003. The worker was a cash office chargehand at the Dooradoyle store. The union said cash office staff were already fully occupied and that a 1999 company-union agreement gave some employees the option to accept or reject job changes. Tesco said the books consolidated existing procedures and it had made reasonable efforts to address concerns. The upheld recommendation called for the worker to withdraw her objections and work with the company to introduce the books fairly.
