In 1990, the Labour Court recommended that Douwe Egberts (Ireland) Limited retain its pay-review system, while rejecting the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claim for a differential over craft workers. The recommendation was dated 14 September 1990. The dispute concerned two technical chargehands who missed increases given to other chargehands in April 1989. The Court said the review system’s criteria should be clear and open to challenge, and recommended that the company and union define them and establish a procedure for disagreements.
