The Labour Court upheld the Rights Commissioner's recommendation that a union claim about Avonmore Foods P.L.C.'s sick-pay scheme fail. The decision was signed on 18 May 1989. The union argued that a worker with a serious back injury should qualify for sickness benefit in later calendar years while the illness continued. The company disputed that interpretation and cited the scheme’s costs.
