In 1990, the Labour Court did not recommend conceding the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claim for extra protective clothing and boots at Celmac (Ireland) Limited. It recommended bonus protections for moulders, including average bonus during familiarisation after a move between pieces and staged payments after a layoff. The recommendation was signed on 14 June 1990. The dispute involved about 37 workers at the company’s Wicklow plant. The union sought clothing and footwear, citing workplace conditions, and average bonus guarantees for moulders moved from the colour shop.
