Labour Court rejects £300 clothing allowance claim against Gallaghers Dublin

In 1989, the Labour Court did not recommend conceding the Marine Port And General Workers' Union's claim for a £300 clothing allowance for sales representatives at Gallaghers Dublin Limited. The recommendation was dated 7 February 1989. The Court said the nature of the jobs did not warrant the allowance. It recommended that the parties discuss the company's suggestion of providing coats and noted that the company was willing to consider reimbursing clothing damage caused by unexpected work circumstances.
