Labour Court recommends talks on Irish Press rationalisation proposals

In 1990, the Labour Court recommended that the Irish Print Union meet Irish Press Newspapers Limited to discuss practical difficulties with the company’s proposed supplemental agreement, including a five-shift system. The interim recommendation was signed on 19 June 1990. The talks were to take place before a later, detailed recommendation on the changes. The Court said the meeting would be without prejudice to the union’s objection in principle to the five-shift system, and intended the parties to return with a list of unresolved issues.
