In 1996, the Labour Court recommended compensation for 13 Independent Newspapers (Ireland) Limited process department workers affected by a proposed new roster. The recommendation was signed on 23 December. The Graphical Paper And Media Union said the changes would reduce night differential and alter shifts and weekend attendance. The Court recommended an annual £443.94 increase to the existing Holiday and Sickness Cover payment and a £1,000 lump sum per worker for the roster change, payable in two £500 phases. The company said the roster arose from agreements and that it had offered to prevent losses and make a goodwill payment.
