The Labour Court did not recommend concession of the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union's claim for a 3% wage increase at Westport Clothing. The recommendation was signed on 22 December 1992. The union questioned the company's exchange-rate explanation and said workers' pay was low. Westport Clothing said the exchange-rate decline had left it loss-making and that it would struggle to meet the increase. The Court cited the company's present difficulties.
