The Labour Court recommended that Q.K. Meats Limited reduce the working week to 39 hours without loss of pay, adjusting the hourly rate to reflect the shorter hours. The recommendation was signed on 30 April 2009. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union had sought the shorter week, alongside changes to overtime rates, sick pay, pensions and union representation. The employer declined to attend the hearing. The Court recommended discussions between Q.K. Meats Limited and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union on the other issues, including a framework for addressing workplace relations matters.
