The Labour Court did not recommend conceding the Irish Transport And General Workers' Union's claim for compensation for four refuse workers who lost overtime after Ballina Urban District Council ended nightly collections. Its recommendation was signed on 19 May 1989. The Court said the overtime was not mandatory and that the loss followed a service cutback. It found the circumstances differed from an earlier case involving similar workers.
