The Labour Court recommended a three-year pay agreement for Sulzer Pump Solutions Ireland Ltd and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union, with increases of 2.25% effective from 1 January 2017, 1 January 2018 and 1 January 2019. The union had sought 3.5% increases for two years, restored retirement benefits and continued weekly pay. The company had proposed moving employees from weekly to monthly pay. The Court made no recommendation on monthly pay and encouraged further discussion. The recommendation, signed on 23 August 2017, also included an ex-gratia payment of €125 per service year for employees retiring at normal retirement age. The agreement was to expire on 31 December 2019, with no cost-increasing claims during its term.
