Labour Court recommends transfer and £2,500 payment for journalist

The Labour Court recommended that a journalist accept Radio Telefis Eireann’s transfer from Limerick to Dublin and receive an additional £2,500 on top of the package already offered. The recommendation was signed on 21 October 1988. The National Union Of Journalists represented the worker in the dispute. The union opposed the move, citing personal and professional considerations. The Court found that the worker had received an adequate explanation and that the Dublin post was a promotion. It considered the transfer to be in the interest of the broadcasting service and recommended the additional payment in light of the case’s unique personal circumstances.
