The Labour Court has announced that it will conduct an examination of the terms and conditions applying to workers in the Mechanical Engineering Building Services.

The examination has been announced following receipt of a request from two Trade Unions pursuant to Section 14 of the Industrial Relations (Amendment) Act 2015, and will relate to

• rates of remuneration

• sick scheme and

• pension scheme.

This could result in a recommendation from the Court for the making by the Minister of a Sectoral Employment Order which could provide for legally enforceable minimum terms and conditions of employment in the sector.

The Court has invited any person wishing to make representations in the form of a written submission to do so by 5.00p.m. on or before 24 September 2019. Any such representations should be sent by post to The Secretary, The Labour Court, Lansdowne House, Lansdowne Road, Dublin 4, or by E-mail to [email protected]. The Court has made clear that representations received after that date shall not be considered.

The Court, following receipt of submissions, may decide to convene a hearing of parties appearing to the Court to be interested and desiring to be heard.
