The Labour Court upheld a recommendation requiring a worker and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union (SIPTU) to agree to full overnight call-out cover at Kerry Ingredients, but moved the start date to 19 January 2004. The decision was dated 17 December 2003. The worker said personal reasons prevented him from covering the midnight-to-8am shift. The company said reliable cover was needed and it could not depend on contractors indefinitely. The Court considered both the worker’s circumstances and the company’s difficulties, which it said had been accommodated for some time and now needed resolution. The union’s appeal was disallowed.
