Labour Court recommends six-week quality-control trial at Irish Distillers

In 1994, the Labour Court recommended a six-week trial of increased quality-control testing at Irish Distillers Limited’s Fox and Geese plant in Clondalkin. The recommendation was signed on 14 June 1994. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought three additional workers and a 5% increase for the extra inspection work. Irish Distillers planned to allocate an additional worker to the bottling line during the trial. The Court said there was not enough information to finalise staffing arrangements and recommended that the parties assess the results before deciding the staffing needed.
