The Labour Court did not recommend concession of Services Industrial Professional Technical Union's claim to include aunts and uncles in Bioniche Teoranta's bereavement leave policy. The recommendation was signed on 23 October 2008. The union sought two days' leave, saying this had formerly been the practice. Bioniche Teoranta said a 2003 handbook update had removed aunts and uncles from the policy, with no objection at the time.
