Dispute concerning various issues.
Recommendation:
The Court has fully considered all of the issues raised by the
parties in their oral and written submissions, together with the
previous Labour Court Recommendations (LCR14333 and LCR14334) and
the clarification of those Recommendations.
As a basis of resolving the issue, the Court makes the following
recommendations:-
1. That the negotiations regarding the group amendment to the
1966 agreement be concluded by the parties as expeditiously
as possible;
2. Given that the Court, in LCR14333 and LCR14334 and subsequent
clarification of the Recommendations, clearly acknowledged
the legitimacy of the Unions' objective as outlined in their
claim, the Court recommends that the parties immediately
enter the negotiations recommended by the Court in its
recommendations and, in the course of those negotiations,
address the Unions' claim with a view to finding a suitable
basis to resolve the matter.
These negotiations to be completed as quickly as possible but
in any event within a six month period from the date of this
recommendation.
3. In the event that the parties are unable to finalise an
agreement, the specific issue which is holding up that
agreement may be referred to the Court, which will, if it
considers it would be of help to the parties issue a
recommendation on that issue alone.
4. That the strike notice which is currently in abeyance be
withdrawn.
