In 1990, the Labour Court recommended that Carroll Tobacco Company Limited not concede the Union Of Construction, Allied Trades And Technicians’ claim for compensation after ten carpenters’ regular overtime declined. The Court said the circumstances behind the loss did not warrant compensation. The union sought compensation based on 1,620 overtime hours at the current hourly rate. The company said reduced demand had cut overtime and that no agreement guaranteed it.
