The Labour Court recommended that the conciliation proposal to retain 50% of the shift premium for 18 workers at Nenagh Textile Mills Limited be accepted. The recommendation was signed on 12 September 1988. The Irish Transport And General Workers' Union represented the workers in their claim to retain the premium. Workers had rejected the conciliation proposal and a later company offer to retain 55%. The court considered the conciliation proposal fair and reasonable, saying it compared favourably with arrangements for ending shift work elsewhere in industry. The company cited difficult trading conditions and ongoing losses.
