Labour Court rejects Irish Transport And General Workers' Union service leave claim

In 1988, the Labour Court did not recommend conceding the Irish Transport And General Workers' Union's claim against Roches Stores (Dublin) Limited for service leave for 80 general operatives. The recommendation was signed on 14 January 1988. The union sought additional leave based on length of service, arguing that normal annual leave had not improved for many years. Roches Stores said its existing holiday entitlement matched that of similar retail workers and that sales had fallen while costs, including payroll, had risen.
