Labour Court rejects worker’s pregnancy discrimination and constructive dismissal claims

In 1992, the Labour Court rejected a worker’s pregnancy discrimination and constructive dismissal claims against a company. The decision was dated 24 August 1992. The worker, represented by the Irish Distributive and Administrative Trade Union, said a manager challenged her for sitting while pregnant. The company said her transfer was agreed and intended to make her work less physically demanding. The Court found no evidence that the events amounted to discrimination. It also noted that the worker continued working after the incident and resigned about 20 weeks later, finding no valid grounds for constructive dismissal.
