The Labour Court recommended that Irish Casings Limited and Services Industrial Professional Technical Union begin negotiations on a comprehensive agreement covering pay and employment conditions. The recommendation followed disputes over company discretion in paying bonuses, bonuses in holiday pay, a change in work measurement and the bonus formula. It was dated 12 April 1999. The Court said the parties could use expert advisers if needed and should agree a timetable for the negotiations. The union challenged aspects of the bonus and holiday-pay arrangements; the company said its scheme reflected agreements and business needs.
