WRC refers worker’s Mobile Ganger appointment dispute to internal body

The WRC recommended that a worker’s dispute over permanent appointment as a Mobile Ganger be presented to an internal body at its next meeting. The recommendation was dated 26 May 2022. The worker, employed as a Patrol Ganger, said he had acted in the higher role for more than four years and sought permanent appointment under a 2017 agreement. The employer said he had received the higher rate when covering duties but had not acted in an established vacancy. The agreement set conditions for permanent appointment, including service in an established vacancy. The officer recommended referral to the internal body for a recommendation.
