Labour Court overturns £650 overtime recommendation on Coras Iompair Eireann appeal

In 1988, the Labour Court upheld Coras Iompair Eireann's appeal and set aside a Rights Commissioner's £650 compensation recommendation for a worker who lost overtime after a transfer. The decision was signed on 23 March 1988. The Transport Salaried Staffs' Association said the worker's former duties and overtime continued with remaining Tours Department staff. The company argued that declining business led to the transfer and that overtime was available in her Dublin Bus post. The Court accepted that the changes involving the worker were due to a fall-off in business in the Tours Department, found compensation was not warranted and upheld the company's appeal.
