Labour Court recommends oversight of Waterford Crystal information exchange

In 1990, the Labour Court recommended appointing a qualified person to oversee information sharing between Waterford Crystal Limited and the Joint Negotiating Committee. The recommendation was signed on 29 January 1990. The committee wanted its adviser to receive full information about the company's proposed changes to employment conditions, subject to confidentiality. The company sought wider safeguards for sensitive commercial information. The nominee would oversee meetings and requests, resolve difficulties and help ensure disclosure while protecting confidentiality; the nominee and the committee's adviser would sign confidentiality undertakings.
