The Labour Court recommended that Synthetic Packaging Ltd not extend its higher sewing-worker bonus scale to 15 other operatives. It also recommended that the company and Services Industrial Professional Technical Union examine productivity measures to bridge the gap in bonus payments. The company said the higher scale recognised heavy work or direct sewing duties, while the union argued the workers should have equal opportunity to earn bonuses. The recommendation was dated 15 March 2000.
