Labour Court recommends Cablelink return worker to former job pending talks

The Labour Court recommended that Cablelink Limited return an employee to her former job pending discussions about proposed changes to her duties. The recommendation, signed on 6 March 1997, followed a dispute brought by the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers’ Union and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union. The unions said the employee had been moved from clerical duties in Marketing and Customer Service to telephone roster work, contrary to an earlier Labour Court recommendation. Cablelink said the duties remained within her clerical role and contract. The Court found there had been a failure of proper communication and recommended discussions about the proposed duties and their longer-term effects.
