Labour Court upholds rejection of Union Camp worker’s Grade A pay claim

The Labour Court upheld the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation and rejected the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s appeal seeking Grade A pay for a Union Camp (Ireland) clamp truck driver. The decision was signed on 25 September 1995. The union argued the driver’s work had grown more skilled and demanding and that he sometimes covered a Grade A post. Union Camp said its grading structure reflected workers’ main responsibilities and standard interchangeability between machine jobs. The Court found no information that merited changing the recommendation that the worker was not entitled to Grade A pay.
