Labour Court recommends trial of revised Allegro transport incentive scheme

In 1993, the Labour Court recommended a three-month trial of a revised transport incentive scheme at Allegro Limited after a dispute with the Marine Port And General Workers Union over costs and workers’ earnings. The Court said changes to work practices had left the existing incentive standards out of step with the work. It recommended resolving any outstanding standards issues within two weeks, monitoring the revised scheme during the trial and continuing current average earnings while standards were met. The parties should later assess earnings losses and agree compensation if appropriate.
