The Labour Court recommended that Thermo King Europe introduce a fixed evening shift at its Shannon site, with workers able to choose a permanent assignment or rotation through the shift. The recommendation was signed on 19 December 1994. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union accepted the need for an evening shift and a 20% premium but sought a rotating shift staffed by four operatives. The company sought a fixed shift staffed by two, arguing this was more cost-effective and that two workers were needed to operate the machines.
