WRC could not hear Martin Grey’s unfair dismissal complaint against World 2000

The Workplace Relations Commission could not hear Martin Grey’s unfair dismissal complaint against World 2000 Entertainment Limited because he named the wrong company as his employer. The WRC decision was dated 19 February 2024, and the merits were not decided. Grey said he had worked on film productions for decades and was not offered work when production resumed on Valhalla in December 2019. He believed this was because of his union membership. World 2000 denied employing him and argued that his complaint was late. The adjudicator found the complaint was within the time limit, but concluded that Grey’s employer was Metropolitan Films International Limited, not World 2000.
