An Industrial Tribunal today ordered Gafa Saveways to pay a woman who was unfairly dismissed €2,500 in compensation
The GWU said in a statement that when Gafa Saveways won a cleaning contract at the Blood Transfusion Unit, it had been obliged to retain the employees who used to work with the previous contractor.
However, this was not done and three people lost their job as a result.
Gafa Saveways claimed that the employee was dismissed because the department’s administrations was not happy with her work.
But, according to the representative of the department, the employee was one of the best cleaners there were.
