The Labour Court recommended that Carton Bros Ltd increase its compensation offer to £300 for workers affected by a change to working conditions in its palleting area. The Court also urged the company and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union to monitor health and safety in the new environment. The union had sought £1,000 per worker and an ongoing £20 per worker per week. Carton Bros Ltd offered £200 per worker and argued the change was required to comply with EU requirements. The recommendation was signed on 21 April 1995.
