WRC rejects Stewarts Care worker’s penalisation complaints

By Niamh Kearney

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC found Lorraine O'Brien was not penalised after raising workplace safety concerns or being asked to clean during the Storm Éowyn closure. O'Brien alleged her move from Millie's followed safety complaints; Stewarts Care said it was part of a staffing review. The officer found it would have happened anyway for operational reasons. She also alleged penalisation over the request to work during the storm; the officer found others were asked and there was no causal link or detriment. Both complaints were found not well-founded.
