In 1988, the Labour Court did not recommend conceding the Irish Transport and General Workers Union’s compensation claim against National Industries (I) P.L.C. The recommendation was signed on 29 June 1988. The union sought extra compensation for a worker who would operate the Dimeco Rollforming Line alone instead of as part of a two-person operation. It said the change would increase productivity and save the company more than £10,000. National Industries (I) P.L.C. argued that the one-person operation was already covered by a wage-round agreement and that it had invested heavily in plant. The Court did not recommend conceding the claim.
