The Labour Court recommended that the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union accept Chivers And Sons Limited’s interpretation of warehouse pay standards. The recommendation was dated 25 April 1994. The dispute concerned five warehouse operatives and how a 1985 agreement affected their bonus earnings. The union argued for an 85% performance standard; the company said the consolidated wage rate was based on a full workload, or standard performance. The Court concluded the company’s interpretation was correct and recommended that any proposed change to the agreement be discussed and negotiated with the union.
