Labour Court recommends replacing Mister Minit worker’s dismissal with suspension

The Labour Court recommended replacing the dismissal of a worker at Mister Minit with a suspension ending on 10 May 1993. The dispute was brought by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union. The worker denied deliberately breaching till procedures after a security firm reported irregularities during a test purchase at the company’s Artane Castle branch. The Court said the check left one person’s account against another’s and that conclusive proof was needed. It also considered it unreasonable to combine the disputed incident with the worker’s voluntary reference to earlier irregularities when deciding on dismissal. The Court concluded that dismissal was too severe and recommended suspension instead. The suspension was to end on the date of the recommendation.
