WRC rules against subcontractor over alleged unauthorised and undocumented keg deliveries in Dublin
The workers gave evidence at hearing last year that they would shuttle kegs between pubs on their routes as a customer service to publicans, who were in the practice of borrowing stock and returning replacement kegs.
Mr Byrnes said his clients had been presented with “hearsay” claims with serious implications during the disciplinary process – but no way to challenge them, as they had not been told that other crews had been unable to recall specifics. HR expert Brendan McCarthy of Stratis Consulting, for STL Logistics, argued that the answers given by the delivery crews “lacked any credibility whatsoever” and that trust was “irretrievably broken” – leaving summary dismissal for gross misconduct the “appropriate sanction”.
