Labour Court says Dublin Drug review took place at conciliation conference

In 1998, the Labour Court treated a January conciliation conference as the annual review in a dispute between Dublin Drug Company and Manufacturing, Science, Finance over employment terms. The union said an agreed review had not taken place before takeover-related negotiations began. The company said the review was not intended to reopen all previous changes. The Court noted that negotiations continued and could address unresolved employment conditions. The recommendation was signed on 9 April 1998.
