Labour Court recommends £1,000 for worker unfairly dismissed by Neville’s Bakery

The Labour Court recommended that Neville’s Bakery, Dublin pay a worker £1,000 after finding his dismissal unfair. The recommendation was dated 3 September 1998. The worker said he had called ahead to say he would arrive later than scheduled and was told that was acceptable. When he arrived, the manager sent him home; he later learned another worker had taken over his position. The company did not attend the hearing, so the Court could not question it about its written explanation.
