WRC recommends council worker use internal grievance process

The Workplace Relations Commission recommended that a general operative consider his options, including lodging an internal grievance if appropriate, before seeking WRC intervention in a workplace dispute. The recommendation was dated 4 October 2024. The worker said he had been bullied and wanted a new assignment or to retire. The county council said he had not filed a formal grievance and that its procedure should be used first. The officer recommended that he also consider speaking with HR about pension benefits.
