The Labour Court recommended that Royal College Of Surgeons In Ireland and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union begin open negotiations over the College’s plan to contract out portering, cleaning and maintenance services. The Court said talks should cover all issues, including those referred to it. If the parties had not resolved the issues within six weeks of receiving the recommendation, they should refer them back to the Court. The Court found meaningful negotiations had not taken place and said the documents did not make clear that the three cleaning staff had been promised indefinite job security.
