Mail sorter loses claim for bullying

The High Court has dismissed a mail sorter’s claims she was subjected to a campaign of bullying and harassment which left her “terrified” about returning to her job in a Dublin sorting centre, the High Court heard.

Joanne Rundle, aged 38, Shanliss Avenue, Santry, Dublin, sued An Post over what she claims was bullying between 2005 and 2006 at the Dublin Mails Centre (DMC) in Clondalkin, Dublin, where 850 people are employed.

She claimed she was subjected to a “relentless campaign of mean and spiteful behaviour” which caused her severe anxiety and left her out of work for lengthy periods and “terrified” about returning to the DMC.
