Labour Court recommends transfer list for Limerick Corporation depot moves

The Labour Court recommended that Limerick Corporation and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union accept transfer proposals with an amendment requiring a list of employees seeking transfers to be checked for suitability when a transfer arose. The recommendation was signed on 9 January 1996. The dispute followed a worker’s refusal to move from the Rathbane depot to Moyross. The union said the transfer appeared disciplinary and sought procedures involving seniority, volunteers or rotation; the corporation said movement between depots was needed to meet repair demands.
