Labour Court says Limerick Corporation suspension dispute was already dealt with

The Labour Court found that the dispute over suspensions without pay of seven Limerick Corporation spare-crew members had already been dealt with in an earlier recommendation, LCR15585. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union had sought compensation for lost earnings, arguing that the supervisor’s instruction was unreasonable and procedures were not followed. Limerick Corporation said the crew had taken unofficial industrial action and the earlier recommendation covered the issue. The recommendation was dated 5 October 1998.
