Labour Court upholds promotion recommendation in Dublin Airport Restaurants appeal

In 1991, the Labour Court decided that a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation should be implemented in a promotion dispute involving Dublin Airport Restaurants Limited and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union. Dated 22 July 1991, it concerned appointing the most senior available worker to the next supervisor vacancy at the food fair. The Union said the worker had accepted supervisors’ attendance hours. The company argued promotions should follow a competition and said she had refused to change her hours. The Court decided the recommendation should be implemented because she accepted the hours that applied to supervisors.
