The Labour Court rejected the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claim for compensation for two Teagasc technicians who lost security-duty overtime after the service was contracted out in 2004. The recommendation was signed on 19 May 2005. The Court said the loss arose in the context of restructuring and cost savings. One technician had moved to a grade that did not attract overtime, while the other might be able to secure alternative overtime.
