Labour Court recommends Phoenix Arms Hotel consider re-employing Two Workers or pay £500 each

In 1991, the Labour Court recommended that Phoenix Arms Hotel consider re-employing Two Workers or pay each £500 for the loss of their employment prospects. The recommendation was dated 7 October 1991. The workers said management had promised they could return after the hotel’s renovation. The hotel denied making that commitment and said the workers had not been selected after interviews. The Court found the owners had created a clear understanding that employment would likely continue, and that the company had reneged on its commitments and treated the workers unfairly.
