The Labour Court recommended that Dublin Port Company honour and implement in full its agreement with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union, including two agreed promotions and six consequential promotions. The recommendation was dated 29 April 2002. The company had put the promotions on hold pending job evaluation and a skills audit, then decided against promotions it did not consider strictly necessary. The union said the promotions were an integral part of the agreement. Dublin Port Company argued it needed to reduce costs and staffing amid financial pressures. The Court also strongly recommended immediate talks on management’s strategic plan and joint efforts to discuss cost reductions.
