The Labour Court overturned a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation to upgrade Two Workers at The Adelaide & Meath Hospital to assistant director of nursing. The decision was signed on 9 February 2009. The Irish Nurses Organisation argued the workers did the same work and had the same responsibilities as colleagues who had been upgraded. The Hospital said Circular 01/2007 applied to out-of-hours staff, not night-duty staff, and the workers did not meet its criteria. The Court found they did not have the same level of responsibility as Night Superintendents under the circular.
