Labour Court rejects Tibbett & Britten union's €2,000 shift-work claim

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court did not recommend a €2,000 one-off payment sought by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union when Tibbett & Britten introduced a two-shift system. The parties had already agreed a 20% shift premium. The company said the changes fell within the existing agreement and staff were being assigned voluntarily; the union raised concerns about public transport and family arrangements. The Court noted the premium was in line with that paid in good employments. Its recommendation was dated 4 September 2002.
