Labour Court dismisses Mandate appeal over Tesco worker’s agreement status

The Labour Court dismissed Mandate’s appeal, leaving in place the recommendation that a worker was not entitled to inclusion on Tesco Ireland’s 2006 Management Structure Agreement in-scope list. The Court signed its decision on 22 December 2008. Mandate argued the worker performed duties that qualified her for the agreement’s chargehand provisions and 7.5% differential. Tesco Ireland said she did not meet the criteria or perform chargehand responsibilities. The Court found no reason to alter the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation.
