The Labour Court urged Cantrell & Cochrane (Ireland) Limited and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union to discuss the company's rationalisation proposals and agree how to address its difficulties. The recommendation was signed on 17 November 1995. The company said its Dublin operation had recorded substantial losses and urgent cost reductions were needed. The union opposed the proposals, arguing they relied heavily on cuts to workers' pay and conditions after earlier rationalisation plans had cost about 130 jobs. The Court recommended allowing enough time to reach an agreement and said the discussions could be completed within three months.
