SECTION 67
PARTIES: MULTY PRODUCTS (IRELAND) LIMITED
and
SERVICES INDUSTRIAL PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL UNION
SUBJECT:
1. Dispute concerning the rate of pay of two workers.
BACKGROUND:
2. The matter was the subject of a full hearing of the Labour
Court which took place on 4th May, 1990. On 11th June, 1990 the
Court issued the following recommendation (L.C.R. 12907):-
"RECOMMENDATION:
The Court having considered the submissions of the parties
takes the view that notwithstanding the lack of reply from
the Union the Company should not have unilaterally changed
the agreement.
The Court also finds that the Union, given the letter
containing proposals, should have ensured a response was made
to the Company proposals.
In the light of the above the Court recommends the parties
discuss the Company proposals with a view to agreeing a basis
for introducing a new structure within a period of two weeks.
In the event the parties do not reach agreement the Court
will be prepared to make a recommendation.
In the disputed cases before the Court it is recommended that
the workers concerned be placed on the point of the scale
they would have been on had the scales not been altered."
The parties subsequently failed to reach agreement and the Court
was requested to issue a further recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION:
3. The Court notes discussions between the parties have been
unsuccessful. In accordance with the request of both parties and
the commitment made by the Court, (That "in the event the parties
do not reach agreement the Court will be prepared to make a
recommendation"), the following is recommended as a basis for the
resolution of the dispute.
That -
(i) the workers concerned from the dates they were made
permanent be placed on the appropriate rate of pay as
applicable under the old pay structure.
(ii) the revised pay structure be accepted and that any
further workers employed be placed on the pay scale in
accordance with the appropriate point applicable under
the revised pay structure.
