Labour Court recommends Aer Lingus consider former loader for future work

In 1996, the Labour Court recommended that Aer Lingus consider a former temporary aircraft loader for future employment to resolve a dispute over his resignation. The recommendation was dated 30 July 1996. The worker said he resigned after reporting that a colleague had tampered with the security seal on aircraft bars, then facing threats and intimidation. Aer Lingus said he resigned voluntarily after securing other work and that it had allowed him time off to explore a transfer. The Court accepted that the company had not intended to isolate the worker or contribute to his resignation. It recommended that he accept the company’s assurance that it would consider him for future employment.
