The Labour Court did not recommend compensation for employees retained at Youghal Carpet (Yarns) Limited after a rationalisation programme. The recommendation was signed on 29 October 1990. Services Industrial Professional Technical Union (Cork No. 1 Branch) sought compensation over 16 general operative positions. The company said transferred workers would keep their earnings, including overtime, and move to compatible jobs. The Court found no merit in the union's claim.
