Labour Court rejects Services Industrial Professional Technical Union claim over Packard Electric dismissal

In 1992, the Labour Court did not recommend concession of the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claim over a worker’s dismissal by Packard Electric. The recommendation was dated 18 May 1992. The union accepted the worker had a poor employment record but sought leniency, citing personal circumstances and an earlier hand injury. Packard Electric said the worker’s performance remained inadequate and that it had followed its procedure for temporary workers. The Court said the company’s final decision to dismiss him was not unreasonable.
