The Labour Court rejected a claim for higher pay for 12 Craftsman Mates employed by Kerry County Council and recommended continued discussions on training and possible recognition of their skills. The recommendation was signed on 4 May 1999. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union argued that the Mates performed skilled work comparable to Craftsmen. The Council said their pay scales were nationally determined and that a local increase could affect arrangements across the country.
