Labour Court upholds £200 recommendation to seven Flair International workers

The Labour Court upheld a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation that Flair International pay £200 each to seven warehouse workers, rejecting the company’s appeal. The decision was signed on 30 September 1994. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union had sought an introductory payment after a crane replaced forklift unloading work. Flair International argued that the crane did not significantly change the workers’ duties and cited its training and safety measures. The Court noted that the union’s claim concerned the changed conditions under which workers operated the crane.
