The Labour Court recommended a 15% premium for three Boxmore Plastics Limited workers when they are required to assist on printing machines. The recommendation was dated 28 April 1997. The company said the workers assisted only during tool changes or when two machines were running, while the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union (SIPTU) said their training matched that of the relief print-setter. The Court also said the union’s request for consultation over substantial work-practice changes should be addressed in discussions on a Labour Relations Commission report. A separate dispute concerned a worker moved to shift work against his wishes. He had returned to day work by the time of the hearing.
