The Labour Court recommended acceptance of Irish Carton Printers Limited's 15% pay offer for operatives on a new press. The recommendation was signed on 22 December 1992. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought enhanced rates for 12 operatives, arguing that the increase should reflect higher output and savings from four job losses linked to other new equipment. The company said its investment was defensive and the offer matched increases made to other unions. The Court considered the offer reasonable in light of the machine's operation and past practice.
