Labour Court sends Readymix 3% wage claim back to talks with unions

The Labour Court recommended that Readymix Limited resume direct discussions with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union and Automobile General Engineering and Mechanical Operatives Union over a claimed 3% wage increase under the Programme for Economic and Social Progress. The recommendation was signed on 11 June 1993. The Court said progress had been held up by a misunderstanding over direct debit payments and that the parties did not have overall acceptance of the system. It recommended that Readymix seek reciprocal benefits by widening its flexibility proposals alongside a modified direct debit proposal.
