Labour Court rejects telephonists' claim to restore overtime rota

The Labour Court did not recommend the Post Office Officials' Association's claim to restore the former overtime rota for night telephonists at Telecom Eireann's Drogheda Telephone Exchange. The recommendation was signed on 20 November 1987. The association said the revised system was introduced without proper consultation and disadvantaged its members. Telecom Eireann said the change followed a request from the Postal and Telecommunications Workers' Union to align the exchange with the company's usual practice, and that staff had been advised in advance. The Court was satisfied that the changes followed usual consultation and complied with normal practice.
