Labour Court rejects union claim over Elliott Engineering pension cover

The Labour Court rejected the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claim that Elliott Engineering Limited breached the Construction Industry Registered Employment Agreement by not registering a former worker in its pension scheme. The recommendation was signed on 26 February 2001. The union argued that the worker’s welding, driving and construction-site duties brought him within the agreement. Elliott Engineering said it was a sheet metal manufacturing company outside the agreement. The Court found the company was not covered by the agreement and rejected the union’s claim.
