In 1994, the Labour Court recommended that current University Of Limerick operative grades continue to be paid weekly, subject to a review after 12 months. The recommendation was signed on 21 November 1994. The Manufacturing Science Finance Union had sought a £16.04 weekly increase, linked to a pay relationship with Limerick Corporation. The Court recommended acceptance of the university's flexibility proposals by workers, further talks on working hours and overtime, and weekly payments if both sides accepted the recommendation.
