Labour Court recommends pay rise and £3,000 lead-in payment for BUS EIREANN workers

In 2001, the Labour Court recommended a 5% increase at each point of BUS EIREANN's proposed pay scale and a £3,000 lead-in payment for 40 ancillary workers. The recommendation was signed on 14 December 2001. The SERVICES INDUSTRIAL PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL UNION and NATIONAL BUS AND RAIL UNION sought higher pay and £5,000 per worker for participation in the company's productivity change programme. BUS EIREANN offered a minimum pay increase matching the increase for drivers and a £2,000 lead-in payment. The Court recommended the £3,000 payment on the company's proposed terms.
