RECOMMENDATION:
The Court has been asked to consider the application of a collective agreement made between An Post and the Communications Workers Union (CWU). The Court has also been asked to consider the application of decisions of the Monitoring Group operated jointly by An Post and the CWU.
The Court at its hearing, did not have the benefit of the views of the CWU on any matter before it.
The Claimants did not appear before the Court but were instead represented by a person who stated that he held office with the Communications Workers Union but was appearing before the Court in a personal capacity and was not representing the CWU.
In all of the circumstances the claim before the Court on behalf of four individuals is dismissed.
