Labour Court recommends urgent talks on Penauille Servisair rosters

In 2007, the Labour Court recommended that Penauille Servisair Ltd suspend its threat to withdraw from its agreement with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union while the sides urgently negotiated changes, particularly to early morning rosters. The recommendation was signed on 23 November 2007. The company sought 4am starts where needed, saying the 1997 agreement was outdated and did not reflect changing business needs. The union said the agreement barred starts before 5am and that updating it could resolve the dispute. The Court recommended appointing an independent facilitator if necessary, completing the process within a month, and referring any remaining issues back to the Court for a definitive recommendation.
