Labour Court recommends £500 settlement in De Regt worker’s pay dispute

The Labour Court recommended that a worker accept De Regt Special Cable Limited’s £500 offer to settle a dispute over her pay and supervisory status. The recommendation was signed on 2 November 1988. The Irish Transport And General Workers Union brought the claim. The worker had transferred to a Quality Control Technician post, while supervisors later received higher rates after a review. The union argued she had reason to believe she retained supervisory status; the company said she had transferred by agreement and could have returned to her former role.
