Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court rejected the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claim for transport for staff assigned to Cong Hatchery. It recommended further discussion about payment for extra hours on proposed Social Employment Scheme projects and said the parties should introduce eel fishing as proposed, then review its viability and the union’s claim after six months. The dispute followed a reorganisation after the Western Regional Fisheries Board said it could no longer provide full-time work on its existing brown-trout development programme. The recommendation was signed on 7 September 1990.
