The Labour Court rejected a secondary teacher’s appeal against a Rights Commissioner’s decision that her dispute could not be heard under the Industrial Relations Act. The decision was signed on 9 August 2010; the merits of her underlying grievance were not decided. The Court found that, as a secondary teacher in a secondary school, she was not a “worker” for the purposes of section 23 of the Industrial Relations Act, 1990. Her employer was St Andrew’s College Dublin Ltd.
