The Labour Court recommended a 2% pay increase for workers at Kingspan’s manufacturing plant in Kingscourt, Co Cavan, for 12 months from 1 October 2014. The recommendation was signed on 25 June 2014 and followed a pay claim by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union. The union said workers had received no increase since 2007 and had faced reductions in pay and conditions since 2010. Kingspan said it needed to control costs to remain viable and competitive. The Court recommended the increase in return for cooperation with normal ongoing change at the plant.
