Labour Court recommends phased pay rises for Arramara Teoranta workers

In 1987, the Labour Court recommended amending Arramara Teoranta's offer to provide 18 workers with a 3% increase on basic rates and bonus for six months from 1 June 1987, followed by 1% from 1 December 1987 and a further 1% from 1 January 1988. The recommendation was signed on 1 December 1987. The Irish Transport and General Workers' Union had sought a 9% pay rise over 12 months, increased service pay, an improved bonus scheme and additional annual leave. The company said its offer was the best possible under public-sector pay guidelines. The recommendation summary gives 1 November 1987 as the start date for the middle increase, while the detailed terms specify 1 December 1987.
