Labour Court recommends recognition if union membership increases

The Labour Court recommended that Vending Products Limited recognise Federated Workers' Union Of Ireland if its membership increased, while declining to recommend a procedural agreement. The recommendation was signed on 24 October 1988. The union sought recognition and a union-company agreement after repeated requests for a meeting went unanswered. It said two members remained; the company said only one did, arguing that this was not representative of its 24 workers and that it preferred direct staff relations.
