Fired Over Food Fight Gets Job Back | Dublin News
Description
A fired employee, Stephen Loughran, got his job back after a Workplace Relations Commission ruling called his dismissal unfair. The dispute began when he yelled at a food delivery driver for a late order — which led to a brawl captured on CCTV. Though Stephen admitted to the language and threw punches in return, the commission found the company mishandled the disciplinary process, including changing charges and failing to properly investigate. They ruled that Stephen couldn’t have easily walked away from the escalating fight, and criticized management for overstepping. As a result, Almac Pharma Services must rehire him within two weeks — no back pay, but his position restored.
