Labour Court says worker’s compensation claim against Hormann Electronics was unsustainable

In 1991, the Labour Court said a worker’s compensation claim against Hormann Electronics Limited was unsustainable, citing her probationary employment and the company’s dissatisfaction with her work. The Court signed its recommendation on 26 March 1991. The worker, represented by Barry C. Galvin & Son, Solicitors, had alleged unfair dismissal. The worker said her workload and hours had increased and that a promised division of her duties never followed. The company said she made repeated errors despite training, corrections and warnings, and that she was offered the chance to resign. The Labour Court noted evidence from her previous employer praising her work, but said she had not given Hormann Electronics similar satisfaction. It did not recommend compensation.
