Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended that 4 Home Superstore, Breeo Foods and Reox Holdings restore the 4% annual bonus to workers from whom it had been withdrawn and continue paying it under the existing company-union agreement. The recommendation was signed on 11 December 2008. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said ending the bonus would cut wages and sought payment of arrears. The companies said the payment was not financially viable amid competition and cost reductions. The Court found the bonus was an established condition of employment and saw no reasonable basis for withdrawing it.
