Labour Court rejects Eastern Health Board appeal over worker’s driving status

In 1992, the Labour Court rejected an Eastern Health Board appeal over a worker’s appointment as a permanent mini-bus driver and his claimed second-relief status for ambulance driving. Its decision was signed on 27 January 1992. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said the worker had been promised both roles. The Board disputed that it had promised second-relief status, though it said it had implemented the permanent mini-bus appointment and the earlier recommendation in full. The Court found no grounds to uphold the Board’s appeal, leaving the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation in place.
