Dispute concerning the implementation of a new supervisory structure for Athlone.
Recommendation:
Having considered carefully the submissions of all parties to the
dispute, the Court finds that the positions can be most
effectively addressed as follows:-
The four supervisory positions should first be implemented on
the basis of one grade B day supervisors, and three upgraded
depotpersons as grade A supervisors.
After implementation any differences of opinion regarding
these gradings should be referred to the agreed internal
Joint Grading Review panel.
Any claims for loss of earnings arising from the new
operations (other than locomotive drivers) should be assessed
and processed through the normal joint machinery, firstly
after a period of six months, and again if necessary after
twelve months from notification of the regrading proposals.
Further consideration and negotiation of any new rostering
system should take place initially between the Company with
Unions themselves.
The Court so recommends.
