Labour Court recommends Teagasc pay pension gratuities to four technicians

The Labour Court recommended that Teagasc pay pension gratuities to four technicians without further delay. The recommendation was dated 22 November 1996. Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said the staff scheme and transfer terms entitled the former An Foras Taluntais employees to the payments. Teagasc argued gratuities should not be paid before retirement and raised concerns about staff age profiles. The Court said that concern should be discussed and negotiated with the union.
