Labour Court recommends Iceland Project proceed, with talks on productivity sharing

The Labour Court recommended that the Irish Aviation Authority proceed with its Iceland Project and negotiate with the Irish Municipal, Public And Civil Trade Union on sharing any additional productivity benefits with staff. The recommendation was signed on 19 December 2007. The union argued that the project added to radio officers’ workload as staffing had fallen, and sought local talks on a pay or productivity agreement. The Court found that the project did not go beyond normal ongoing change, though it involved some additional work for a reduced workforce.
