Labour Court recommends satisfactory service statement for former apprentice

The Labour Court recommended that Ronan Rudden give a former apprentice a statement confirming his service was entirely satisfactory. The recommendation was signed on 22 September 2006. The worker said he was dismissed after three weeks and that another apprentice was later hired. Rudden said he had lost an expected contract and later needed a more senior apprentice. The Court accepted the dismissal was due to redundancy and could not be regarded as unfair, but said the statement should make clear that there was no impropriety or poor performance.
