Readers,
My husband has been in this semi state since 1993 as a worker and promoted to management in 1996 and was paying an A stamp. He and 40 others became aware of a misclassification issue over ten years ago and wrote to Social welfare. (This would mean that he could retire at 60 ,not 65 and receive full state pension).
Social welfare awarded him a D stamp but the company wouldn’t agree and spent a fortune in legal fees fighting the case all the way to the high court and because they have a lot more money than the employees, eventually won the case last year. Unions were involved but to no avail.
It seems now that this High court decision is being used to ‘sort out’ other state/semi state prsi misclassifications and this was in the media last summer for one council.
Is there any other avenue that can be explored, the workplace relations commission or do we just have to accept that money and power wins all?
Please advise,if you can.
