A meat factory worker has secured more than €40,000 at the WRC for sexual harassment and employment rights breaches. The tribunal heard the worker joined Asba Meats part-time on the factory floor at Asba Meats in mid-2023 when she was a student. He left after she told him she “needed time to think about it”, she told the hearing. The worker told adjudication officer Ewa Sobanska she felt “violated” and “very uncomfortable”. There was nothing to contradict the worker, because Asba Meats did not attend the hearing, she noted.
