Labour Court recommends talks on Trinity worker’s career progression and contract

The Labour Court recommended that Trinity College Dublin and a worker engage to explore solutions to a dispute about career progression and employment terms. The recommendation was dated 18 February 2019. The worker sought incremental progression, a 12-month contract and annual leave on that basis. Trinity said it was willing to apply progression on standard teaching fellow terms. The Court noted that the parties had not effectively engaged on the claims and recommended discussions that take account of the worker’s arrangements and the employer’s capacity to address them.
