Labour Court recommends annual leave claim for Dublin Corporation workers be conceded

In 1989, the Labour Court recommended that Dublin Corporation concede an annual leave claim by the Irish Municipal Employees' Trade Union, the Federated Workers' Union of Ireland and the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union for 16 workers transferred to the Cleansing Section. The recommendation was dated 22 August 1989. The unions proposed a one-off adjustment for leave accrued between April and September, followed by the section's usual schedule. Dublin Corporation cited administrative costs and possible claims from other employees. The Court considered that concern unsustainable, noted the unions' assurances that concession would not prompt such claims, and recommended that the unions' claim be conceded.
