The Labour Court recommended that the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union accept Elastometall Ireland Limited’s offer on pay and working hours. The recommendation was signed on 26 February 1991. The union had sought a £7 weekly increase and a 39-hour week. The company’s offer provided for a £4 weekly increase, backdated to 2 July 1990 for 12 months, and a 39-hour week from 1 February 1991, with Friday finishing one hour earlier.
