Labour Court rejects union claim over Jamont Ireland engineer’s redundancy

The Labour Court rejected the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claim concerning the proposed redundancy of a maintenance engineer at Jamont Ireland Limited’s Dublin plant. The recommendation was dated 24 September 1993. The union said the redundancy was unjustified and linked to the worker’s trade union or political activity. The company said a restructuring made the Dublin role surplus to requirements. The Court criticised management’s handling of the issue as harmful to good industrial relations, but found no grounds to concede the union’s claim.
