Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended that Kraft Foods Rathmore and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union discuss workplace changes linked to a pay increase agreed between them. The recommendation was signed on 29 October 2013. The union opposed further redundancies, while the company proposed cost savings including outsourcing shift cleaning and stores roles; it said the proposal would reduce direct employment by nine roles. The Court recommended local or Labour Relations Commission talks to agree changes comparable in value to those at the Coolock plant, with unresolved issues referred back to the Court within six weeks.
