Labour Court recommends full-day kegging when production warrants at Beamish And Crawford

The Labour Court recommended that the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union accept a clarification allowing the kegging lane at Beamish And Crawford to operate throughout the day when production warranted. It also said company employees could operate vehicle curtains on rare occasions when contractors were unavailable, with the issue reviewed after six months. The recommendation was signed on 22 December 1994. A separate bottling issue had been resolved locally before the hearing. The dispute concerned the meaning of work-practice agreements on kegging and curtains; the union and company differed over when continuous kegging was allowed and who should operate vehicle curtains.
