JLC Order Quashed
The Irish Hotels Federation (IHF) has been successful in its High Court challenge to have an Employer Regulation Order quashed. The IHF has stated its decision to take these legal proceedings has now been vindicated and that the case was never about challenging wage agreements but was about what was an unfair and unjust process at the Hotels Joint Labour Committee (HJLC) and the Labour Court. The IHF said that it is pleased that the State conceded that the IHF would have been successful on a procedural ground if the legal proceedings had continued.
According to John Power “The Irish Hotels Federation and Michael Vaughan of Vaughan Lodge, were compelled to take this action and the outcome today clearly vindicates our action and that we were correct to undertake this legal proceeding.” All costs were borne by the State, and the IHF concludes that it will re-engage with the HJLC which it has been a member of for some 40 years. “Our hope is that the HJLC procedures will result in an enlightened and transparent process as a result of the significant outcome today,” says John Power.
