The Labour Court recommended that Waterford Crystal Limited's industrial peace agreement expire in line with Partnership 2000, and that the company and the Amalgamated Transport And General Workers' Union agree new procedures for discussing major decisions affecting the company's future. The recommendation was signed on 1 February 1999. The Court said the industrial peace clause had contributed significantly to the company's turnaround and should not be changed during Partnership 2000. It also recommended accepting the company's offer of increased annual leave and a higher compensation formula for established loss of earnings.
