In 2003, the Labour Court recommended that the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union and the Technical, Engineering and Electrical Union accept cost-saving proposals at Mitsui Denman (Ireland) Limited. The recommendation was dated 5 June. The company said market changes, falling prices and production overcapacity had created serious financial difficulties, while the unions raised concerns about access to information and outstanding bonus and Programme for Prosperity and Fairness payments. The Court urged immediate consultation and speedy negotiations on future proposals affecting the company or workers, and recommended that the unions accept the company’s 13 November 2002 proposals to help safeguard jobs.
