The Labour Court recommended that Unite the Union and HSE Waterford General Hospital return to direct discussions about the work-and-finish arrangement for 14 theatre porters. The recommendation was signed on 27 March 2015. The HSE sought to end the arrangement, under which porters could leave early with a supervisor’s approval once their work was complete. Unite said it would consider changes to meet hospital needs but opposed abandoning the agreement. The Court noted progress at the hearing and recommended further talks; any remaining issues could be referred back for a definitive recommendation.
