Labour Court rejects Youghal Carpets workers’ claims for leave cover and bonus

The Labour Court did not recommend conceding either of the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claims against Youghal Carpets (Yarns) Limited. The recommendation was signed on 6 September 1994. The union sought replacement cover or compensation when six clerical workers covered colleagues absent on leave, including during two maternity-leave periods. It also sought an annual £225 bonus for clerical staff, following an earlier bonus scheme for production workers. The Court concluded that neither claim should succeed.
