WRC declines to rehear dispute already decided by Labour Court

The WRC found it had no jurisdiction to rehear a worker’s industrial relations dispute because the Labour Court had already decided the same matter. The decision was dated 6 April 2023. The worker said alleged mistreatment after the complaint was filed had not been considered by the Labour Court. The publicly funded healthcare provider said the claim had already gone through WRC conciliation and been decided by the Labour Court. The WRC found the dispute before it was identical to the earlier case and could not be reheard; the merits were not decided again by the WRC.
