Heineken Ireland ordered to pay EUR 29,000 to sacked employee
Ireland | And we thought only craft breweries were rough and tumble workplaces, where banter and colourful language were the norm between male co-workers. It happened at Heineken too. The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) ordered the brewer to pay some EUR 29,000 (USD 31,500) to a sacked employee. It argued that Heineken’s local HR team ignored the rough masculine work culture at its brewery when it concluded that the employee had engaged in the bullying and harassment of two colleagues – which he denied.
