Labour Court recommends five extra days’ leave for 11 Institute workers

In 2000, the Labour Court recommended five extra days of annual leave for 11 clerical and administrative workers at the Dun Laoghaire Institute Of Art, Design & Technology who worked Church holidays. The recommendation was dated 15 May 2000. The Irish Municipal, Public And Civil Trade Union said a 1998 agreement entitled the workers to the leave; the Institute argued an earlier agreement excluded them. The Court found no exclusion in the 1998 agreement and also recommended that the parties agree additional flexibilities in return.
