Dispute concerning productivity.
Recommendation:
3. The Court is satisfied that should the threatened industrial
action take place the Company will close with the resultant loss
of jobs which is of primary concern to the Court.
It is accepted that the employees concerned have given flexibility
and productivity in the past and had expectations for increased
pay based on commitments which it is now accepted were made in
1986. In these circumstances, the Court recommends that both
parties accept the following proposals for settling the present
dispute which it is considered can be implemented on a self
financing basis.
(a) An increase in basic pay of #5 per week from 16th
August, 1990. The Company provides a voucher to the
value of #100 to all the claimants in lieu of
retrospection.
(b) The Union agrees to voluntary redundancies.
(c) The parties commence negotiations immediately on the
introduction of productivity schemes which would yield
an additional minimum guaranteed increase of #5 per
week to be applied from the date on which the Company
reaches a break even situation. It is accepted that
third party assistance may be required.
(d) The Union call off its proposed industrial action.
