Labour Court refers cashless-pay dispute at Cadbury Ireland to committee

The Labour Court recommended that a committee examine whether 19 electricians at Cadbury Ireland Ltd were financially disadvantaged after moving to cashless pay. The dispute was brought by the Technical, Engineering and Electrical Union. The Court said the committee should include equal numbers of union and management representatives and an independent chair nominated by the Court. It should decide whether the workers were disadvantaged and what, if anything, should resolve the issue. The recommendation was signed on 10 December 2008.
