Labour Court upholds job grading recommendation in Radio Telefis Eireann dispute

The Labour Court upheld a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation that a Radio Telefis Eireann Media Sales Assistant accept reviews finding her correctly graded at Grade 3. The Court’s decision was dated 29 December 2006. The worker, represented by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union, had sought an independent job evaluation, a higher grade and progression beyond the merit bar. The Company said her grade was appropriate and the agreed progression criteria applied to her. The Court dismissed the union’s appeal.
