Labour Court Database __________________________________________________________________________________ File Number: CD90232 Case Number: LCR12858 Section / Act: S67 Parties: IRISH BAKERIES LIMITED - and - BAKERY AND FOOD WORKERS' AMALGAMATED UNION |
Dispute concerning the implementation of a wage increase under the Programme for National Recovery (P.N.R.) since 1st April, 1989.
Recommendation:
3. The Court having fully considered the oral and written
submissions of the parties considers the terms of Labour Court
recommendation L.C.R. 12683 should be implemented.
The Court so recommends.
However, the Court recognises that the Company is presented with a
special problem in maintaining its viability at this time in the
face of adverse financial circumstances. It has noted the
initiative taken by the Company in the development of export sales
as part of the plan for survival and its commitment to the payment
of the outstanding increases at the end of the year. In these
circumstances it is for the Union and its members to consider
whether, if faced with the declaration of inability to pay by the
Company, they should not defer any action arrived at securing the
implementation of the above recommendation pending an up-to-date
review of the Company's position in September/October, 1990.
