Labour Court rejects Atari Games worker’s unfair dismissal claim

The Labour Court rejected a union claim that Atari Games Ireland Limited unfairly dismissed a worker who had been on long-term sick leave. The recommendation was dated 11 June 1993. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said the worker had tried to recover and return to work, but doctors could not certify him fit. The company said it had warned him his job was at risk, sought information about his medical position and allowed time for a return. The Court considered the parties’ submissions and did not find unfair treatment.
