The Labour Court recommended that James's Coaches pay €500 compensation to a worker it dismissed from its St. Raphael's School bus contract. The recommendation was signed on 2 September 2008. Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said the worker had not been warned of concerns or given a fair chance to answer them. James's Coaches cited accidents, reports of careless driving and passenger safety concerns. The Court found the worker had been warned that his job was at risk, but was not given the chance to have a colleague or union official represent him when his employment ended.
