The Labour Court recommended concession of the unions’ claim for a 39-hour working week at Deba Knits Limited. The recommendation was signed on 28 November 1990. The Marine Port and General Workers Union and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union wanted the shorter week achieved through earlier finishes Monday to Thursday or a shorter Friday. Deba Knits Limited argued workers should accrue an hour each week for leave during slack periods, when the business had seasonal layoffs. The Court recommended concession of the union claim.
