The Labour Court recommended against the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claims at Irish Press Newspapers Limited for driver-rate pay for scootermen, different overtime payments and an amended sick-pay scheme. The recommendation was dated 4 November 1992. The union said scootermen had covered van-driving duties without the higher rate and sought overtime treatment matching other departments. It also sought restoration of a former sick-pay scheme. The company said the Transport Department had been kept open on the understanding that it would not increase costs. The Court said the driver-rate and overtime claims were unsustainable under that arrangement and did not recommend amending the sick-pay scheme.
