The Labour Court recommended that Galway City Council pay a worker €5,000 in full and final compensation, while declining to recommend his regrading. The recommendation, signed on 23 June 2017, varied the Adjudication Officer’s recommendation. The worker, represented by the Technical, Engineering and Electrical Union, sought retrospective promotion from Electrical Craft Foreman to Plant Manager or Clerk of Works and a shift allowance for 24-hour call-outs. The Court said it could not establish whether he had suffered a loss from not being regraded. It cited extreme delay and the case’s unique circumstances in recommending compensation.
