Place: no local area assigned from the source.

In 1988, the Labour Court recommended adding a further 1% for each quarter in which Thermo King Europe's plant or factory output reached 60 B.S.I. The union was recommended to accept the amended offer. The recommendation was signed on 3 June 1988. Amalgamated Engineering Union represented 500 workers seeking improved pay and conditions. Thermo King Europe argued that productivity gains were needed to protect jobs and its Galway plant. The union said the proposed pay increase did not fairly match the productivity increase sought.
