Tribunal awards €32k to former print firm worker

A PRODUCTION technician has been awarded more than €32,000 after taking a case for unfair dismissal against his former employer, Cork printing company Webprint.

The Employment Appeals Tribunal heard from company representatives that on November 4, 2008, when the claimant, Gary Robinson, went missing for a period of his shift. When he returned, the engineering manager sought an explanation for the absence.

The manager also looked at CCTV and found that a similar incident happened on the previous night.
