Labour Court recommends P.E.S.P. payments for Bord Na Gcon tote staff

In 1992, the Labour Court recommended immediate P.E.S.P. payments to part-time tote staff at Bord Na Gcon, with arrears paid in phases within a year. The case concerned the Board and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union. The union said workers were due the increases and should receive them before cost-saving discussions. Bord Na Gcon cited heavy losses and said it had no cash reserves for increases; it estimated the two phases with arrears would cost £20,000. The Court also recommended direct talks on the Board's concerns. The recommendation was signed on 30 September 1992.
