WRC rejects catering worker’s protected disclosure complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission found Shane Bursey’s complaint against Aramark Campbell Catering was not well founded, deciding he had made no case of penalisation for making a protected disclosure. The decision was dated 6 February 2026. Bursey said he understood the circumstances of his departure were more appropriately addressed as constructive dismissal, and described his concerns as relating primarily to workplace issues, including unresolved grievances and the work environment. Aramark Campbell Catering said he was still employed when he lodged the complaint and had not specified a protected disclosure or resulting penalisation.
