The Labour Court recommended that the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union accept Irish Casing Company Limited's revised offer in the 26th wage round for about 80 workers. The recommendation was signed on 26 April 1987. The Court recommended changing the offer's duration from 14 months to 13 months from 1 April 1987, and that the union accept it as amended. The union had sought a wage increase, while the company cited difficult trading conditions and the effect of labour costs on its business.
