The Labour Court upheld the Adjudication Officer’s decision on a worker’s appeal over an unsuccessful application for a senior technical officer role at Atlantic Technological University. The decision was dated 18 October 2024. The worker argued that the interview panel did not follow an earlier circular, which required a four-person panel including an external member. The university said the 2022 competition followed procedures agreed with SIPTU and applicable to technological universities. The Court found that the university operated within the agreed procedures and could not recommend conceding the worker’s claim.
