Labour Court recommends £250 compensation for worker treated unfairly by National Radio Cabs

The Labour Court recommended that National Radio Cabs pay a worker £250 in compensation after finding she had been treated unfairly in a pay dispute. The recommendation was signed on 19 December 1996. The worker said management asked her to accept a £17 weekly pay cut to match a colleague’s wages. She also said another colleague received considerably higher pay and suggested the difference might be linked to a family connection to a committee member. National Radio Cabs rejected her claims, saying her pay reflected her duties and that she had received increases. The Court said the company needed a transparent and fair salary structure and found that the lack of one had led to unfair treatment.
