The Labour Court did not uphold a worker’s claim that Mr Kevin Blake T/A Spar Castleknock reduced his hours because he joined a trade union and became a shop steward. The recommendation was signed on 4 November 2013. The employer said the reduction reflected a downturn in business. The Court found that hours had declined between 2009 and 2013, but there was no evidence that the decline began in April 2011 or was connected to the worker’s union membership.
