The Labour Court recommended that a nurse at St. Joseph’s Psychiatric Hospital be restored to the night roster after he lost his night-duty premium following a disciplinary dispute. The recommendation was signed on 13 December 1994. The Mid-Western Health Board and the Psychiatric Nurses Association were the parties. The Court said the nurse had been placed in an invidious position as part of a broader dispute, and noted conflicting recollections about a meeting and the penalty imposed. It recommended his immediate return to the night roster, but did not recommend the union’s claim for full compensation for lost earnings.
