The Labour Court recommended that Callan Co-Operative Society Ltd increase its offer to a once-off €250 payment per person at Christmas 2007. The recommendation, signed on 3 July 2007, followed a dispute with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union (SIPTU) over extended trading hours and a Christmas bonus. The union said the extended hours went beyond normal ongoing change and would require workers to arrange childcare and change personal commitments. It sought a €250 bonus per person, rising by €50 each year for five years. Management said competition made the additional costs unsustainable, while extended hours were essential to the co-op’s viability and jobs.
