The Labour Court recommended that Johnson Brothers Limited and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union discuss the matter if the company revives its proposed order-picking technology project. The recommendation was dated 2 June 2005. The union’s wider claim for improved pay and benefits for 90 warehouse operatives was not granted. The claim included a shift-premium change, a 5.5% increase, a Christmas bonus and improved service leave. Johnson Brothers said it could not afford the claims after business volume fell by 35% over two years.
