The Labour Court recommended that Cork Plastics Limited accept the final production bonus proposals for 56 extrusion area workers, and that the proposed machine staffing levels be adopted. The recommendation was dated 4 October 2004. The workers, represented by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union, had been earning a flat €40 weekly bonus. The company’s initial offer of a €1,250 lump sum was rejected; a later proposal offered bonuses of €50 to €100 depending on production levels. The union said the staffing changes would add to workloads over 12-hour shifts and the payments were insufficient. The Court said the final proposal could not fairly be improved further.
