The Labour Court upheld the Rights Commissioner's recommendation and rejected the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union's appeal over rest breaks for 24 general operatives at Bord Na Mona's Croghan Briquette Factory in Co Offaly. The determination was signed on 22 June 1999. The Court called for discussions on how breaks could be provided in line with the statutory rules, including compensatory rest. The employer's continuous process was covered by an exemption that allows variation of the daily rest-period rules, provided compensatory rest is given.
