The Labour Court recommended restoring Sunday and public holiday premium terms at Ladbrokes (Ireland) Limited, with retrospective effect to the dates they were changed. The recommendation was signed on 28 May 2010. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said the changes were imposed without agreement or consultation. Ladbrokes said they were needed to preserve jobs amid financial pressure. The Court noted that the changes had reduced affected workers’ earnings and recommended discussions about the company’s employment concerns.
