The Labour Court considered BWG Foods Limited’s position reasonable in a dispute with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union and Mandate over a profit share scheme for about 200 workers. The unions sought a share of profits without agreeing to hold back other claims during the Programme for Prosperity and Fairness. The company was prepared to discuss a scheme after the programme, or earlier if the unions gave that undertaking. The recommendation, dated 28 February 2001, set no specific profit share or payment.
