Labour Court recommends talks on CF Automotive-Iralco workplace dispute

The Labour Court recommended that CF Automotive-Iralco and Unite the Union hold local discussions over disputes about lay-off and redundancy selection criteria and a changed bonus scheme. Its recommendation was dated 28 September 2011. The union said it had tried to discuss the issues with the company but received little response. The company argued there was no trade dispute because no worker had raised the issues with it. The Court said the parties should use Labour Relations Commission services if direct discussions failed to make progress. The union had agreed to be bound by the recommendation.
