The Labour Court recommended discontinuing allowances for Waterford County Council workers who no longer performed the duties, with compensation equal to 1.5 times their annual loss. The recommendation was signed on 17 February 2014. Unite argued the workers had done the work for up to 30 years, that the money formed part of their core pay and that they should keep it personally. Waterford County Council said a water services restructure meant the workers no longer performed the extra duties.
