Labour Court overturns £1,733 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 £1,733 compensation recommendation for a worker who lost overtime after a transfer. The decision was signed on 25 March 1988. The Transport Salaried Staffs' Association argued that the worker's former duties continued with other staff and that he expected his overtime earnings to continue. The company said declining business prompted the transfer and that overtime was not guaranteed. The Court accepted that the changes involving the worker were due to a decline in business in the Tours Department. It found compensation was not warranted and upheld the company's appeal.
