In 2001, the Labour Court recommended a revised settlement for Cadbury Ireland Limited workers affected by contracting out transport and distribution at the Rathmore plant and the Vision 2000 proposals. It recommended raising proposed compensation for van drivers from £3,000 to £5,000, with the proposals to go to a secret ballot of the entire workforce. The Court said the proposals followed extensive consultation and negotiation and represented a fair, reasonable and generous offer. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union had rejected the proposals as insufficient.
