Labour Court recommends Programme for National Recovery pay terms at Mangan Brothers

The Labour Court recommended that Mangan Brothers Limited Sligo increase pay rates in line with the agreement reached under the Programme for National Recovery. The recommendation followed a union claim on behalf of 25 workers under the 27th wage round. The Irish Distributive And Administrative Trade Union had sought a 10% increase for 12 months, then said it would accept the Sligo Distributive Trade settlement of 5% over 14 months. Mangan Brothers offered the Programme for National Recovery terms, citing difficult market conditions. The recommendation was signed on 27 October 1988.
