The Labour Court recommended that workers at Gaeltarra Knitwear Limited accept the company’s proposed work-practice changes. It also recommended that the company pay two outstanding P.E.S.P. phases and the first P.C.W. phase from the changes’ implementation date. The recommendation was signed on 31 March 1995. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought the outstanding increases for workers at the company’s factories in Tourmakeady and Belmullet, alongside negotiations over proposed changes to knitting-room work and pay. Gaeltarra Knitwear Limited cited its financial position and restructuring plans. The Court’s recommendation addressed both the work-practice changes and the outstanding pay phases.
