Labour Court upholds two-year loss-of-earnings recommendation on C.M.P. Dairy appeal

The Labour Court upheld a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation and rejected the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s appeal on C.M.P. Dairy’s loss-of-earnings dispute in a decision signed on 28 February 1995. The recommendation called for the worker to accept a two-year buyout of loss of earnings; the Court did not award the £10,000 lump sum the worker had sought. C.M.P. Dairy said the worker’s performance as a checker/dispatcher was inadequate and offered two years’ loss of earnings. The union argued that rationalisation had increased the workload without training. The worker is unnamed in the published party details.
