In 2002, the Labour Court recommended two pay increments for six administrative staff at Glanbia Drogheda’s milk processing plant in Drogheda, Co Louth. The first was to take effect from 1 June 2001 in recognition of multi-skilling, flexibility and interchangeability. A second was to apply when training was completed, or from 1 June 2002 if it was still incomplete. The recommendation followed the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claim for a pay increase with retrospection. It was dated 11 March 2002.
