Many people are concerned about their work entitlements in the context of the coronavirus outbreak.

A deputy hotel General Manager (GM) suffered a miscarriage weeks after being unfairly dismissed because she was pregnant.

A Dublin based company has been ordered to pay a worker €7,000 after graffiti appeared in his workplace with the "highly offensive and deplorable" word ‘faggot’.

An employment law expert said today that it is high time some employers came into the 21st century when dealing with women in the workplace.

Casting people prematurely on the career scrap heap has implications for society in the form of added costs and deprives organisations of people with skills, says Kyran Fitzgerald.

A beauty therapist dismissed for being pregnant received a paltry €5,179 in compensation this week. That is no deterrent, and one wonders if employers would be more accommodating if men gave birth, writes Clodagh Finn.

A beauty therapist was told her pregnancy was her own problem in what was described as a “particularly heartless” dismissal.

A leading employment rights lawyer said the issue of pregnancy-related dismissal in the workplace “is now at epidemic levels”.

Foreign workers are more likely to take a claim for unfair dismissal against their employer than their Irish counterparts, according to new research on the rulings of the Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT).

INTERNATIONAL accountancy firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PWC) last night refused to comment on how it failed for several years to detect breaches of employment law at Gama Construction.

HUNDREDS of Gama employees from Dublin and Clare yesterday stepped up protests against the company by demonstrating outside the firm’s largest construction project in Galway.

WHEN Socialist Party leader Joe Higgins first made sensational Dáil allegations of migrant labour abuse against Turkish construction firm Gama on February 9, Ceann Comhairle Rory O’Hanlon interjected.

THE chief public representative of the Turkish firm embroiled in a controversial migrant labour scandal no longer represents the company, the Irish Examiner has learned.

A MULTINATIONAL construction firm at the centre of a migrant labour scandal could be forced to pull out of Ireland as a Government report into the controversy fails to clear the company.

The Government’s investigation into construction firm Gama has left many questions unanswered, says Political Reporter Michael O’Farrell.

TURKISH construction firm Gama will have to pull out of Ireland if a Government investigation backs up serious underpayment allegations, a company representative said last night.
