Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended revisions to the terms for a parallel benchmarking exercise involving craft workers in local authority and health service sectors. Its recommendation, dated 13 September 2006, followed a dispute between the Local Government Management Services Board and Ictu Craft Group. The Court recommended that the comparison include superannuation, tenure and analysis of additional pay increases, with company-specific factors discussed for possible discounting. It also recommended including the union’s proposed criteria for establishing basic rates. Any future integration with the main benchmarking process should be negotiated and agreed at national level.
