The Labour Court did not recommend conceding the Voluntary Hospitals Craft Group's claim to restore or receive compensation for overtime withdrawn from 10 Coombe Hospital workers. The group said the overtime had been regular and rostered for decades and workers suffered substantial losses. The hospital said it was not rostered or compulsory and cited severe financial difficulties. The Court said it was not normally part of contractual earnings, but recommended that suitable overtime opportunities be offered if they arose. Its recommendation was signed on 23 November 2010.
