Labour Court recommends talks on Independent Newspapers pay claim

In 1993, the Labour Court recommended that Independent Newspapers (Ireland) Limited and the Dublin Printing Group Of Unions negotiate without prior conditions on a possible local pay increase under Clause 3 of the Programme for Economic and Social Progress. The Court said negotiations could consider some or all of the 3% increase in return for cost savings or productivity improvements, while taking account of competitiveness, flexibility and change. The company employed 750 workers. The recommendation was signed on 15 March 1993.
