The Labour Court recommended that Bourke Waste Removal Ltd pay a general operative €4,000 after finding that he was dismissed without fair procedures. The recommendation was dated 16 May 2006. The union said the dismissal followed a disagreement over the worker's finishing time. The employer cited his work practices, suitability for the job and previous warnings. The Court found that the employer had failed to follow the Code of Practice on Grievance and Disciplinary Procedure, making the dismissal unfair.
