Labour Court rejects Mandate appeal over transfer at Crazy Prices

The Labour Court rejected Mandate’s appeal and upheld the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation in a dispute over a transfer at Crazy Prices in Santry. The decision was dated 24 July 1997. Mandate argued that the transfer of a former management trainee to a full-time sales assistant post filled a vacancy that should have been advertised, giving existing staff a chance to apply. Power Supermarkets Limited said the move was temporary and for training, and that no vacancy existed. The Court found the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation that Mandate accept the company’s position was not unreasonable.
