Labour Court upholds €2,500 goodwill recommendation on Iarnrod Eireann worker’s appeal

The Labour Court upheld a €2,500 goodwill recommendation for a worker whose appeal over transfer requests and a delayed grievance failed. Its decision was signed on 27 April 2007. The worker said Iarnrod Eireann had blocked his transfer requests and failed to hear his grievance promptly. The company cited agreed selection criteria and his attendance record. The Court found the transfer applications had been properly handled, accepted there were genuine corporate reasons for the decisions and upheld the recommendation as full and final settlement of his claims.
