Labour Court recommends accepting Waterford Crystal terms proposals

The Labour Court recommended that Waterford Crystal and the Amalgamated Transport And General Workers' Union accept proposals from conciliation for a new terms and conditions agreement. The recommendation was signed on 15 November 1991. The union sought to restore a 30-year-old agreement, while management wanted negotiations returned to the pre-conciliation stage. The Court recommended accepting the conciliation proposals, along with specified Labour Relations Commission and company letters, except for a provision that would have prevented workers from clocking in and out. It said the proposals would let both sides focus on their major difficulties.
