The Labour Court recommended that Rathfredagh Cheshire Home and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union reconsider a claim for parity in working conditions after the Programme for Economic and Social Progress ended. The recommendation was dated 29 October 1993. The claim was brought for part-time nurses and care assistants seeking conditions matching their Health Board equivalents. The Court said the claim would increase costs and was debarred under the programme; the Home said its funding could not support a substantial increase in its wage bill.
