Labour Court recommends P. McCormack Ltd recognise construction union

In 1991, the Labour Court recommended that P. McCormack Ltd immediately extend recognition and negotiating rights to the Union Of Construction, Allied Trades And Technicians. The union said workers had asked it to represent them and that the company had refused to deal with it. The company said it dealt directly with workers and did not recognise the union as a negotiating body. The union also said a lockout had begun on 7 January 1991, leaving workers without wages or social welfare benefit. The recommendation was signed on 14 February 1991.
