The Labour Court recommended that C & C (Ireland) Ltd proceed with its Warehouse Management System and that the company and Services Industrial Professional Technical Union hold discussions about any substantial changes to work or responsibilities. The recommendation was dated 28 September 2005. The dispute concerned how agreements from 1996 and 2000 applied to the new technology. The union sought negotiations over a pay increase, while the company argued the system had already been covered by the 2000 agreement and did not justify extra compensation. The Court recommended that the union agree to the system’s introduction and that both parties discuss any response without preconditions for up to three months. Unresolved issues could then return to the Court. Collective Industrial Relations Act recommendations are not binding.
