MBNA told to make €5,000 donation
The MBNA credit card company has been told by the Labour Court to make a €5,000 donation to a charity after a worker claimed she had to give up her job because of untrue rumours circulating in the company about her mental health.
While the court did not accept the woman had to resign from her job, it found that MBNA had acted unfairly in relation to the woman's complaint.
Rumours about the worker's mental health were mentioned at a rights commissioner hearing involving a case taken against the company by her mother. During the hearing, one of her mother's files was produced which had an entry by one of MBNA's management team claiming the woman said she had checked her daughter in to a "mental hospital" in Sligo.
The mother denies she ever made such a statement and her daughter lodged a claim for "acknowledgment, apology and compensation".
