Labour Court says Beamish And Crawford should not recover money paid to six suspended workers

The Labour Court found the suspensions of six Beamish And Crawford kegging-line workers were fair, but recommended that the company not seek to recover money paid to them. Its recommendation was dated 15 September 1995. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union challenged the suspensions, which followed a dispute over whether the kegging line should operate through breaks. The union said agreed procedures had not been followed; the company said the crew refused to operate the line after Labour Relations Commission clarifications.
