Labour Court rejects Bus Eireann worker's claims for lost earnings and reclassification

The Labour Court did not concede a worker's claims against Bus Eireann for outstanding money and reclassification of his pay scale. The recommendation was signed on 30 November 2006. The worker argued he should have been appointed a permanent driver earlier, while management said he was not eligible until a company-union agreement changed in 2004. The Court noted that he had advanced on the drivers' pay scale in recognition of previous driving service. It found he was appointed to a driver position at the first opportunity after the agreement was finalised and did not accept that he should benefit from it before then.
