INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS ACTS, 1946 TO 1976
SECTION 20(2)
PARTIES: C.B. PACKAGING LIMITED
(Represented by the Federated Union of Employers)
and
IRISH PRINT UNION
SUBJECT:
1. Implementation of the terms of LCR11515.
BACKGROUND:
2. On the 19th October, 1987, the Labour Court investigated a
dispute concerning the 26th wage round and rationalisation
proposals. On 12th November, 1987, LCR11515 was issued but the
parties failed to agree on its implementation and the Union
subsequently served strike notice on Management. Prior to the
expiry of the notice, the parties held a meeting with the Chairman
of the Labour Court at which it was agreed to hold further local
level discussions. It was also agreed that if these discussions
failed the matter would be referred to the Court for a binding
recommendation. The local level discussions were held but failed
to resolve the dispute and the matter was referred to the Labour
Court under Section 20(2) of the Industrial Relations Act, 1969.
Following a Court hearing on the 4th February, 1988, the Court
recommends as follows:-
