In 1988, the Labour Court said workers rostered for call-in at Irish Glass Bottle Limited had to be contactable during that period. The recommendation was signed on 11 May 1988. The company said it needed to reach a fitter promptly during an equipment breakdown. The National Engineering And Electrical Trade Union argued this amounted to a stand-by system, which should attract a higher premium. The Court concluded that contactability was required of workers rostered for call-in.
