The Labour Court recommended a 4% increase in Carton Brothers’ bonus, consolidated into basic pay from 1 December 2005, and an increase in the forklift-driver differential to €30 a week. The recommendation was dated 9 December 2005. The Court did not adjudicate on the compensation-for-loss-of-earnings issue, saying it was not satisfied that the issue was properly before it. It asked Carton Brothers to clarify its position with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union.
