WRC makes no recommendation in worker’s favour in two pizza business disputes

The WRC did not recommend in a worker’s favour in two industrial relations disputes with a fast food business, after finding the worker had not raised a grievance locally before referring the matters. The recommendation was dated 28 April 2026. The worker said a manager had cursed at him in front of a customer and objected to being asked to do tasks beyond pizza chef work. The business denied the claims and said no grievance had been raised at the time. The WRC said local industrial relations procedures had to be exhausted before referral. The worker’s separate dismissal was unrelated to these disputes.
