Labour Court recommends continuing Trinity College progression procedure for current staff

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended continuing Procedure 47 for clerical and administration staff at Trinity College Dublin already in A03 posts, while ending it for future A03 postholders. The recommendation was dated 14 October 2022. The dispute concerned progression from the A03 pay scale to A02. Trinity College Dublin said progression required an application and manager assessment, and that Procedure 47 had ceased to exist. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union (SIPTU), representing the staff, argued progression was automatic and not a promotion. The Court said the college's apparent unilateral change had removed a progression route without full engagement with staff representatives, leaving affected staff aggrieved.
