Labour Court recommends further meetings over GE Energy worker’s role

The Labour Court recommended that Ge Energy Ireland Limited hold further meetings with a worker to address concerns about his role after a temporary secondment as an Operations Support Engineer ended. The recommendation was signed on 13 November 2015. The worker viewed his return to his original grade as a demotion, while management said the secondment was temporary. The Court said the core difference concerned his perception of status and standing, and that management held him in high regard. It recommended focused meetings to try to resolve the outstanding issues.
