Labour Court rejects Penny’s workers’ cash-register compensation claim

In 1991, the Labour Court rejected the Irish Distributive And Administrative Trade Union’s claim for compensation for 33 workers at Penny’s Limited’s Dun Laoghaire branch over the introduction of new cash registers. The Court said the Dun Laoghaire situation was not comparable to the Mary Street branch, where compensation had been paid in 1987 under conditions unique to that branch.
