Labour Court refers HSE Cers acting-position dispute to agreement process

The Labour Court recommended that HSE Cers and the Irish Municipal, Public and Civil Trade Union use the Haddington Road Agreement’s dispute resolution process to resolve a claim over regularising an acting position. The recommendation was signed on 26 June 2014. The Court said that process was intended to produce an outcome binding on both parties, while a recommendation under section 20(1) of the Industrial Relations Act 1969 binds the worker but not the employer.
