The Labour Court recommended that B.D. Medical Systems pay €1,200 each to three workers in a shift-premium dispute with Services Industrial Professional Technical Union. The recommendation was signed on 18 October 2010. The union said the workers' premium was reduced from 35.5% to 20% after a shift-pattern change without agreement, while the company said they volunteered for the transfer and knew of the lower rate. The Court found some merit in the union's case and recommended the payments in full and final settlement of claims connected with the dispute.
