Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended that UCD, SIPTU & Unite engage on departmental cost reductions, including changes to weekend overtime if needed to address budget pressures. The parties were to complete discussions before 31 August 2014; unresolved matters could return to the Court for a definitive recommendation. The recommendation was signed on 23 July 2014. The dispute concerned lost rostered overtime in UCD’s Biomedical Facility. SIPTU & Unite argued that UCD should honour a 2010 agreement. UCD said the overtime pattern was no longer financially sustainable and referred to compensation under the Public Service Agreement formula.
