Labour Court rejects £10 weekly pay differential claim at Mary Immaculate College

The Labour Court did not recommend conceding the Irish Transport And General Workers' Union's claim for a £10 weekly pay differential for a worker at Mary Immaculate College. The recommendation was signed on 7 January 1988. The union said the differential recognised the worker's responsibilities and sought its restoration or compensation after catering industry rates were introduced. The College argued that the union had accepted the revised rates and that the worker's duties were similar to colleagues' work. The Court found no justification for conceding the claim, noting that the worker had received revised remuneration when an earlier recommendation was implemented.
