Labour Court recommends equal treatment for two former Guinness workers

In 1995, the Labour Court recommended that Guinness (Ireland) Limited treat two former temporary workers on the same basis as staff dismissed in September 1994. The recommendation was signed on 12 July 1995. The published parties line also names Ms Irene Dunne. The workers argued they should each receive £1,000, saying agency staff dismissed in September 1994 received £500 or £1,000 depending on service. Guinness said the Bonus Bonds were a discretionary goodwill gesture for staff retained until September, and that the two workers had already left. The Court recommended equal treatment with the September group; it did not specify an individual amount.
