Parties: WELLMAN INTERNATIONAL LIMITED - and - IRISH TRANSPORT AND GENERAL WORKERS' UNION
|
Subject:
SUBJECT: 1. Claim by the Union on behalf of approximately 21 workers concerning manning levels, lump-sum and on-going productivity compensation.
Recommendation:
3. Having considered the submissions made by the parties on the
various matters at issue arising from the Company's investment and
rationalisation programme, the Court is of the opinion that the
question of manning levels should in the first instance be studied
by consultants.
To allow time for such an exercise to take place the Court
recommends that all parties should co-operate in the study, which
should be completed as soon as possible and in any event not later
than 1st February, 1989.
At that time, or sooner if the study can be completed before then,
the Court will issue a more specific recommendation on the issue
of the lump-sum, and having regard to the consultant's report, on
any questions of manning levels which may still be in contention .
Should the parties consider it helpful the Court would be prepared
to recommend on an amount from the lump-sum to be payable on
account prior to the Christmas period.
