WRC dismisses Hungarian worker’s discrimination and harassment complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Anton Salva’s complaint against Silent-Aire Europe Ltd., finding no evidence to support an inference of discrimination or harassment. The decision was dated 29 April 2026. Salva alleged he was bullied because of his Hungarian nationality, citing a tool chest incident, a warning, rumours of theft, missed assignments and training, and repeated shouting by a supervisor. The company argued the complaint lacked evidence and a comparator. The WRC found the evidence insufficient and no evidence of less favourable treatment of Hungarian workers.
