Labour Court upholds decision in Diana Iosif’s dismissal appeal

The Labour Court rejected Diana Iosif’s constructive dismissal appeal and upheld the Adjudication Officer’s decision. The determination was dated 6 December 2022. Iosif, who worked as a cleaning operative at St Vincent’s University Hospital, argued that her employer unreasonably deferred addressing her grievance about being required to clean bodily fluids with chlorine powder. The Court found no evidence that the company had declined to address the outstanding issues and said its proposal to discuss them nearer her return from sick leave was not unreasonable.
