Labour Court recommends acceptance of facilitator's pay proposals in Dublin Street Parking Services dispute

The Labour Court recommended that proposals from a facilitator be accepted in full settlement of Services Industrial Professional Technical Union's 2.5% pay claim against Dublin Street Parking Services. The recommendation was signed on 16 December 2013. The union said Dublin Street Parking Services was profitable, had implemented national agreement increases and was not pleading an inability to pay. The company argued that service levels were not being met and it could not increase pay while that continued. The Court said the facilitator's proposals addressed both sides' concerns and noted the company remained willing to accept them.
