In 1988, the Labour Court recommended against a pay increase sought by Irish Transport And General Workers' Union for two Smurfit Corrugated Cases Limited employees using keyboard/VDU equipment. The recommendation was signed on 8 January 1988. The union sought an upgrade to the Lead Man rate, saying the new system required additional skills. The company argued that the required information had not changed, only how it was recorded.
