The Labour Court recommended that Epicom Ireland Ltd recognise SIPTU Members as representative of employees who belong to the union and engage with it on employment matters affecting them. The Court dated its recommendation 30 October 2019. The union referred the trade union recognition dispute under Section 20(1) of the Industrial Relations Act 1969 and agreed to be bound by the recommendation. The employer did not attend the hearing, and the Court was satisfied it had been notified.
