Labour Court recommends deferring 39-hour week claim and changing Aer Rianta overtime divisor

In 1993, the Labour Court recommended deferring a claim for a 39-hour week for Airport Police Fire Service workers and adjusting Aer Rianta's overtime divisor to 1/39th, as applicable at Aer Lingus. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union argued that workers remained on duty during meal breaks and that pay and overtime were calculated on a 40-hour week. Aer Rianta argued that average shifts were 32.5 hours a week excluding meal breaks and raised cost concerns.
