Labour Court recommends £200 payment in Irish Fertiliser Industry dispute

The Labour Court recommended that Irish Fertiliser Industry increase its ex-gratia offer from £150 to £200 for workers at Marino Point after rejecting the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claim for the £450 millennium payment made to other shift workers. The Court said an earlier recommendation cited by the union applied to health service employees, not this claim. The recommendation, dated 1 March 2001, called for the £200 payment on the same terms as the company’s existing offer.
