Labour Court recommends pro-rated leave for Nenagh Textile Mills workers

In 1988, the Labour Court recommended calculating annual leave for 36 Nenagh Textile Mills Limited workers in proportion to the time they actually worked, based on their previously agreed 20-day entitlement. The recommendation was signed on 7 March 1988. The Irish Transport And General Workers' Union sought 20 days of leave regardless of short-time working, citing established practice. The company said its difficult trading position made it unable to afford unearned costs. The Court recommended pro-rating leave against the 20-day entitlement by reference to actual time worked.
