The Labour Court rejected a union claim for compensation for eight Erin Foods factory operatives who said they lost earnings after redeployment. The recommendation was signed on 26 October 1990. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union argued that workers should share in savings following rationalisation. Erin Foods said earnings varied with work patterns, some affected workers earned more, and the company did not guarantee continuity of earnings.
