Engineer gets €32k after being sacked for wearing gloves
The Employment Appeals Tribunal ruled Sebastain Bobrecki was unfairly dismissed by Carlow engineering firm, Autolaunch Ltd, in October 2014. Mr Bobrecki was sacked after a co-worker reported that he was wearing gloves in close proximity to a metal milling machine.
The Polish man wearing the gloves was in contravention of a strict company ban on the wearing of gloves by any workers near moving machinery parts.
