Labour Court recommends union accept ADT Allied Security offer in pay dispute

In 1994, the Labour Court recommended that the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union accept Adt Allied Security Limited (Adt)’s offer in a pay dispute involving three security guards at the Gypsum Plant in Kingscourt, Co Cavan. The recommendation was signed on 27 January 1994. The union sought £5 an hour plus allowances after the guards took on weigh-bridge duties, including operating the computerised system during 12-hour shifts and preparing detailed reports. ADT said the extra work was normal for security guards and its offer was reasonable under Clause 3 of the P.E.S.P. The Court found the claim covered by that agreement and the offer reasonable.
